Pregnancy serves as a powerful motivator for many women to quit smoking. Healthcare providers play a vital role in this process.

Pregnancy represents a unique opportunity for women to quit smoking and a pivotal moment for healthcare providers to support and guide them on this transformative journey.

Providers can offer various forms of assistance, such as counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, or referrals to specialized smoking cessation programs. Tailoring these interventions to the individual needs and preferences of pregnant women is crucial in ensuring their success. Additionally, healthcare providers can monitor and track the progress of their patients, offering ongoing encouragement and guidance throughout the pregnancy.

Testimonials

REALLY HELPFUL

The program has been helpful on my journey to stay tobacco/nicotine free during my pregnancy and I’m confident with Laura and the program that I can remain [tobacco] free after my pregnancy ends and motherhood begins! Laura has been really helpful taking the time to hear my concerns and cravings throughout my pregnancy and walking me through how to get past them successfully.

I CAN HANDLE EVERYTHING

I can breathe so much better and I even have a bit more energy than I did before. I feel healthier. It’s not just physical though. Mentally, I feel like I can handle everything because I now have healthy ways of dealing with things in my like, instead of going to my old habit of smoking.

SO MUCH MORE ENERGY

She helped me realize what was causing me to smoke, and she helped me find so many new ways for me to replace my bad habit. The vouchers that you get during the program are such a huge help, but couldn't compare to the strength that you have going through the program, and coming out nicotine free. You have so much more energy, you see things in a completely different way.

SO WORTH IT

It was hard, I almost caved a few times, but I didn't. Carrie made sure to help me through my difficult periods, and let me know how proud of me she was. I started this program smoking almost a pack a day, and finished this program not smoking at all. The moment you choose to go through this program, is the first step to quitting. It is so worth it to look back and see how far you have come. I had so many doubts that there was no way I would ever be able to quit, due to the fact that I had tried so many times before.

I CAN DO ANYTHING

I proudly will have my certificate on the wall next to all of my baby girls pictures, so I can see the progress I have made, and the best mother I could become for my little girl. She gets to see how much mommy has accomplished and she can look at that when she gets older and say if mommy can do that, I can do anything. I want to be that inspiration for my daughter, and that's all I could ever want. I hope you choose this program, because it is well worth the work and the effort you put into it.

STANDARD OF CARE

This should be the standard of care. Having this program in place has helped give me the motivation to quit smoking and something to hold me accountable in doing so. The personal relationship that Camille has fostered also helps encourage me to keep making the right decisions.

I'LL BE FOREVER GRATEFFUL

I can never thank you enough for this program and for Carrie. It truly saved my life and from the bottom of my heart, I’ll be forever grateful.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

This program was a great experience learning how to stop smoking in different steps. I’ve learned so much from this program.
