07-04-2007 · EurekAlert!

In the most extensive trial of its kind, 1050 pregnant women are being recruited to establish the effect of using nicotine patches during pregnancy. The £1.3m clinical trial -- Smoking, Nicotine and Pregnancy (SNAP) trial -- will investigate whether nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is safe, effective and cost-effective for mums-to-be who want to give up smoking. It will also study the effect on the behaviour and development of the child.
