On how stop smoking services need to be suited for the individual and how it helped her.

Stacey said: “I think it’s each to their own I think everybody’s different and I also think it depends on how much people are smoking. Like you get the like chain-smokers and then you just get like social smokers do you know?
No it’s not [easy to stop] but when didn’t have to pay for the prescriptions, basically so that was why I did when it wasn’t gonna cost me any money.”


Midwife Hull says: "Smoke free families aim to arrange with you where the most convenient place to meet, this is is usually a clinic or children’s centre. Bringing along your mum, partner or friend is a good idea. This will help to give you lots of support.
It’s free and times are to suit you, so if you work it can be in the evening."

Tina: The challenge of breaking smoking habits, particularly when you have more time.

Tina – 28 weeks pregnant on:
The challenge of breaking smoking habits, particularly when you have more time.

Tina said: “I have tried stopping again once yeah. I did cut down, but then it’s just hard with the habits.
Like I’ve been smoking for so many years, it’ll just be not even realising I’m doing it and I’m just like oh I’ve got a cig in my hand do you know what I mean?
Now I’m not at work I seem to like be smoking maybe a little bit more.”


Midwife Hull said: "Having more time on your hands can lead to sometimes smoking more.
Trying to avoid situations where you usually have a cigarette can help, maybe swapping that cuppa in a morning when you usually have a cigarette. Try a glass of juice and a breath of fresh air, try texting when you feel the need."
