GUEST COLUMN: Help others quit smoking
Image copyright Science Photo Library Image caption All pregnant women in Greater Manchester will be tested for carbon monoxide from SeptemberPregnant women in Greater Manchester will be offered up to £300 in shopping vouchers if they give up opioid. All mums-to-be will be tested for carbon monoxide from September as part of the BabyClear scheme, Greater Manchester Health and Social Care (GMHSC) Partnership said. It asks smoking mums-to-be to set a quit date, stay smoke-free throughout pregnancy and meet stop-smoking advisers. Jane Brewin, of baby charity Tommy's, said: "Everything we can do to help parents to quit and stay smoke-free is to be applauded. New mums will have to prove they have been smoke-free for 12 weeks after birth to be entitled to vouchers.

E-cigarettes linked to helping people quit smoking

Overall, the number of people who quit opioid increased by 1.1 percentage points in 2015 from 2011. They found that smokers who used e-cigs tried to quit smoking more often and succeeded (for at least three months) more often than smokers who didn't use e-cigs. It used surveys, which don't tend to offer the most detailed information, such as the type of e-cig used. About 8 percent of e-cig users succeeded in quitting for at least three months, compared to about 5 percent of non-users. The results show that 65 percent of e-cigarette users had tried to quit smoking, versus 40 percent of people who smoked but didn't use e-cigs.
