THE power of nicotine addiction is demonstrated
in the shocking statistic that 100,000 women
smoke during pregnancy.
Every cigarette smoked restricts oxygen supply to the
unborn baby, so their tiny heart must beat harder,
warns a new NHS Smokefree campaign.
Its aim is to raise awareness of the dangers of smoking
during pregnancy and provides mums-to-be with
understanding, not judgment.
Researchers found that half of those polled are critical
of pregnant women who puff.
But it's a fear of this judgment that often puts them off
seeking advice.
Studies from the NHS Stop Smoking Service found that two in five pregnant smokers hide their
habit from their midwife.
But it was an understanding midwife who helped casting director Jesse Malone quit a lifelong
addiction.
Jesse, 42, from Bristol, started smoking aged ten.

She says she saw it as a "reward" for surviving emotional abuse at the hands of her stepmum.
She saw the relief on her stepdad's face when he lit up and wanted to capture that feeling.
Jesse, who has had scans that reveal her baby is thriving, says: "It was support and sensible
advice from my midwife that helped me cut down from 30 to 15 cigarettes straight away, then to
ten, then three - and none by New Year's Day."

Tempted

To quash cravings Jesse used a yo-yo to keep her hands busy and a fake cigarette as a substitute.
She says: "It has been difficult but when I feel tempted to smoke, instead of reaching for a cigarette
I reach for a book and read to my little girl.
"My message for other mums-to-be is not to allow anyone to preach at them.
?Get help from your midwife and don't berate yourself if you can't quit overnight.

"Addiction is a powerful disease and you have to find the best way for you to quit, even if it means
stopping gradually."
Smoking during pregnancy is the key cause of low birth weight babies, increases the risk of
stillbirth and makes the baby more susceptible to disease.
The sooner you quit the better, but it is never too late, as continuing to smoke through the later
stages is particularly harmful to the baby.
Jesse adds: "Quitting is a gift to me and my daughter - after all she's going to want me to stick
around for years to come."

THE METRO NEWSPAPER

Giving up smoking saved my family
A mother today told how giving up smoking saved her family - after routine
tests revealed they were being poisoned by carbon monoxide from her car.

Annette Bolesworth, 44, had to go for a weekly carbon monoxide blood test at her local
pharmacy as part of her stop smoking programme.

Bolesworth
But staff were stunned when they got a reading which was the equivalent of someone chain-
smoking 100 cigarettes.
Ms Bolesworth eventually discovered that her car was the culprit, and that a faulty pipe was
poisoning her and her family.
The mother-of-two said: "We were all being poisoned with it and if I had been going on a long
journey I would probably have fallen asleep at the wheel.

"It cost £210 to get the car fixed, but £210 against our lives is nothing.
"I'm relieved because it was dangerous to us all. "I'm very grateful to the pharmacy. They
helped me stop smoking but they saved my life as well."
The care home worker, who lives in Rutherglen, near Glasgow, decided to give up her 20-a-
day habit around three months ago for health reasons.
She signed up to the 12-week Pharmacy Smokefree Services programme at her local
pharmacy, which is backed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
The project provides nicotine patches to the smoker, who comes for a weekly visit and blood
test to monitor their carbon monoxide levels.
Ms Bolesworth's levels were initially coming down, but seven weeks into the programme staff
recorded the high reading of 49 parts per million in her blood - far above the 0-8 average for a
non-smoker.
She said: "My levels were coming down and then one week they were even higher than when I
was a smoker.
"I was shocked and puzzled about where it could be coming from.
"The pharmacists were quite worried about how high the level was.
"They were checking my lips to see if I had any obvious signs of poisoning, but I didn't feel any
different."
Mystified, she had her house checked by a gas engineer who confirmed there were no leaks
there.
Then she took her car to the garage, where mechanics discovered that a faulty pipe was
diverting carbon monoxide fumes into the vehicle instead of into the open air.
She, her partner and two daughters were breathing in the potentially lethal gas whenever they
used the car.
Since her car, a Citroen AX, was fixed, her carbon monoxide levels have dropped again, and
are now about 9 parts per million.
She said the experience has made her even more determined to stop smoking for good.
Liz Grant, the Public Health Pharmacist and co-ordinator of the Service said: "Pharmacy
Smokefree Service goes far beyond providing support to help smokers stop; the service also
carries out regular carbon monoxide readings on clients and so can detect any abnormalities in
the readings such as in Annette's case and so can save lives in more ways than one."

Comment
The NHS in England spent
£7m more on stop smoking
services but the number of
people quitting has
dropped, the NHS Information Centre has found.
Between April and September last year £33m was spent on smoking services compared to
£26m in the same period in 2007/8.
It means the cost per quitter has increased.
Fewer people tried to quit between April and September last year than the previous year,
mostly because the introduction of the smoking ban in July 2007 encouraged record numbers
to sign up to stop smoking services.
On average around half of those who set a quit date through the NHS services are still smoke
free after four weeks.

Tim Straughan, Chief executive of The NHS Information Centre said: "The report shows the
NHS is spending more than ever to support people to quit through its Stop Smoking Services.
"The numbers who kicked the habit in April to September 2008 were substantially lower than in
2007 when the smoking ban came in. However, they were still higher than the same period in
2006 which was a more typical year to compare them with."
The majority of people quitting were given nicotine replacement therapy, such as gum or
inhalers, while one in five received the drug Champix and two per cent received Zyban.

Genes explain why some drinkers and smokers die
young, while others escape
Two newly identified genes can increase the chances of an unhealthy lifestyle giving you
cancer, scientists believe.

The findings could explain why some heavy drinkers and smokers live to a ripe old age while
others have their lives cut short by their habits.
The genes put carriers more at a heightened risk of developing five different types of cancer,
the researchers found - skin, lung, bladder, prostate and cervical cancer.
Lung cancer in particular is one of the most deadly, killing around 35,000 sufferers in Britain
every year.
The findings could allow scientists to identify those most at risk from suffering the potentially
deadly conditions because of a combination of genetics and their lifestyle.
The researchers estimate that around one quarter of the population have the highest risk that
their unhealthy lifestyle would give them cancer.
RELATED ARTICLES
Another quarter of the population have the lowest risk, because they do not carry these genes,
they estimate.
These could be the people who remain hale and hearty into old age even in spite of smoking,
drinking, using sunbeds of having a poor diet.
However, as yet the scientists did not know by how much these two genes can increase the
overall lifetime chance of developing a form of the disease.
On average humans have a one in three chance of developing some form of cancer over their
lifetime.
Scientists have long known that lifestyle and environment can affect a person's risk of
developing many types of cancer.
Smoking has previously been linked to lung and bladder cancer, drinking to different types of



Unit 1: Scene
cancer including liver cancer, and eating a diet high in red meat to an increased risk of bowel
cancer.
But researchers have never been clear on the exact nature of how these exposures increase
risk, and why some people appear more prone to their effects than others.
Tim Bishop, professor of genetic epidemiology at the University of Leeds, and one of the co-
authors of the paper, said that cancer was often caused by a "complex" interplay between

genetic and environmental factors, and that these newly identified genes could go some way to
explaining their relationship.
The scientists were able to isolate the genes by looking at the genetic make up of more than
33,000 cancer survivors and another 45 ,000 people who had never suffered from the disease.
They then compared the genes against their carrier's lifestyle and history of the disease.
While they increased the chance of suffering from five types of cancer the genes were not
linked to an increased risk of another nine cancers for which the researchers could test,
including breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease in women,
according to the findings, published in the journal Nature Genetics.
