The STAAR team are available to support you throughout your pregnancy. If you are receiving your care from a different Trust, contact them to see what support they can offer.
Our practitioners understand how hard it is to stop but are there to support you along the way.
The team will meet with you, face to face, for a chat about how you feel about stopping smoking and explain the support they could offer you.
You might like to schedule a 'quit date' at your first appointment or you might like to have a think about it at home and discuss a date at your next appointment - the choice is yours.
When you are ready to quit, the STAAR team are able to offer you Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) for free in the form of patches to wear.
As well as free NRT, the STAAR team can also offer you

Emilia quit smoking with the help of the STAAR team when she was 19 weeks pregnant with her first baby.
Healthy baby Hristina was born by caesarean section on 11th July 2023 weighing 3.41kg.
Emilia had tried to stop smoking before but said she found it easier with the support of the 'amazing' STAAR team and now never wants to smoke again!
Emilia would recommend that anyone who is pregnant and smoking should access support from the STAAR team.
We would like to congratulate Emilia on the birth of Hristina and her fantastic achievement quitting smoking!
