In what will be seen as a controversial move the National Health Service of the United Kingdom will pay women up to £100 if they can promise to quit smoking completely during their pregnancy.
The scheme will pay the £100 over the term of the pregnancy. They will get £20 after they quit smoking for a week followed by a further £40 if they manage to stay off the cigarettes for a month and if they continue not to smoke for a whole year they will get a further £40 making a total of £100.
They will be given the payment in the form of special Co-op vouchers which can be exchanged for anything except alcohol and cigarettes.
