More mums-to-be in the Kettering area are smoking in pregnancy compared to the national average.
While Kettering is better than the national average in many categories, particularly in terms of deprivation, levels of smoking in both expectant mothers and among adults in general are far above the national average.
A spokesman for the NHS said: ?NHS Northamptonshire offers a Stop Smoking Service, which provides a tailored programme to encourage, motivate and support pregnant smokers and their families to stop smoking.
?One-to-one clinics are held in venues across the county in a confidential and non-judgmental setting with access to Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that is safe to use during pregnancy and beyond.?
