We are exploring future opportunities with the United Kingdom research councils to examine the potential long-term harms from vaping.</p><p>To help pregnant smokers quit smoking, the Government is providing up to £10 million of investment over 2023/24 and 2024/25 via a financial incentives scheme. This evidence-based intervention, supported by behavioural support, will encourage pregnant women and their partners to quit smoking, and remain smokefree throughout pregnancy and beyond, helping to improve the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 07/05/2024 14:07:00 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 32187 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
