All pregnant women will be tested to see if they or their partners smoke, as part of NHS drive Under radical new NHS plans, all women and their partners will be screened to see if they smoke during pregnancy.

The NHS will offer all women a carbon monoxide screening test at the 12 and 36 weeks stage of pregnancy in a bid to persuade thousands to give up the habit.

The routine screening will come into effect in July. One in 10 women, around 65,000, smoke throughout their pregnancy. The Daily Mail
