Pregnant women will also be paid to quit smoking under government plans to be set out on Tuesday.
One million smokers will be given a free vaping starter kit to encourage them to give up tobacco products.
Almost one in five smokers in England will receive a kit alongside behavioural support, the government said. It is estimated that 9% of women still smoke during pregnancy in England, and the government says local trials indicate that financial incentives and behavioural support can be effective. Officials estimate it will cost around £45 million and is set to be funded from the health department's budget, but administered by local authorities.
Its author, Dr Javed Khan, called for a range of new measures, including a ban on smoking at outdoor spaces such as beaches and beer gardens.
