Who we are Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is a public health charity that works to eliminate the harm caused by tobacco. The Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group is a coalition of organisations committed to reducing rates of smoking in pregnancy. The Group was initially established in 2012 by ASH and the Lullaby Trust following a challenge from the then Public Health Minister to produce recommendations on how the Government s smoking in pregnancy ambitions could be realised. The Challenge Group is jointly chaired by Dr. Clea Harmer, Chief Executive of Sands, and Professor Linda Bauld of the SPECTRUM Research Consortium and the University of Edinburgh.
