Comparison of cotinine levels in pregnant women while smoking and when using nicotine replacement therapy (2014)
Journal Article
Bowker, K. A., Lewis, S., Coleman, T., Vaz, L. R., & Cooper, S. (2014). Comparison of cotinine levels in pregnant women while smoking and when using nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine and Tobacco Research, 16(6), https://doi.org/10.1093/ntr/ntu029

BACKGROUND: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) helps smokers quit smoking, but trials indicate that there is no evidence that it is effective during pregnancy. As metabolism increases during pregnancy, NRT may deliver insufficient nicotine to allevia...
