How could you dare smoke when you are pregnant?! Do you need to have gift vouchers and beauty treatments to quit? 
“Pregnant women who smoke are to be offered gift vouchers and beauty treatments to encourage them to quit under proposals by an NHS trust.
The incentives, which also include baby goods, will be given to those women who are able to prove they have successfully kicked the habit.
Telford and Wrekin NHS Trust in Shropshire plan to role out a pilot scheme soon, having already agreed to the idea in principle.
But they have been warned that the move could prove controversial by some who see it as the health service rewarding bad behaviour.
Expectant mums who agree to the trials will undergo various examinations,
such as carbon monoxide monitoring, a breath test which will show if someone has recently smoked.”Pregnant women smoking/ DAILYMAIL
