The goal of this feasibility is test the feasibility of conducting a randomised trial of the use of an online peer support group to promote smoking cessation and enhance sustained abstinence for women who smoke in pregnancy. Researchers will compare the group who receive the intervention (along side standard care) with a group who receive standard care alone.
Participants will be asked to complete 2 questionnaires (and the intervention group will be asked to sign up to an online support group). They will be offered the opportunity to also take part in a follow up interview to explore acceptability and feasibility of the a future trial
