BACKGROUND: Children's exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) has been causally linked to a number of childhood morbidities and mortalities. Over 50% of UK children whose parents are smokers are regularly exposed to SHS at home. No previous review has id...

Effect of nicotine patches in pregnancy on infant and maternal outcomes at 2 years: follow-up from the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled SNAP trial (2014)
Journal Article

Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2(9), https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600%2814%2970157-2

BACKGROUND:
The SNAP (Smoking and Nicotine in Pregnancy) trial compared nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches with placebo in pregnant smokers; although NRT doubled cessation rates in the first 4 weeks, by delivery no differences in maternal sm...

The SNAP trial: A randomised placebo-controlled trial of nicotine replacement therapy in pregnancy - Clinical effectiveness and safety until 2 years after delivery, with economic evaluation (2014)
Journal Article
Cooper, S., Lewis, S., Thornton, J., Marlow, N., Watts, K., Britton, J., Grainge, M. J., Taggar, J., Essex, H., Parrott, S., Dickinson, A., Whitemore, R., & Coleman, T. (2014).

Health Technology Assessment, 18(54), 1-128. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta18540

Background: Smoking during pregnancy causes many adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is effective for cessation outside pregnancy but efficacy and safety in pregnancy are unknown. We hypothesised that NRT would in...

Nicotine patch preloading for smoking cessation (the preloading trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2014)
Journal Article
Lindson-Hawley, N., Coleman, T., Docherty, G., Hajek, P., Lewis, S., Lycett, D., McEwen, A., McRobbie, H., Munafo, M. R., Parrott, S., & Aveyard, P. (2014). Nicotine patch preloading for smoking cessation (the preloading trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials, 15(296), https://doi.org/10.1186/1745-6215-15-296

Background: The use of nicotine replacement therapy before quitting smoking is called nicotine preloading. Standard smoking cessation protocols suggest commencing nicotine replacement therapy only on the first day of quitting smoking (quit day) aimin...

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...

Nicotine dependence and biochemical exposure measures in the second trimester of pregnancy (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: The Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI) is validated to measure nicotine dependence in nonpregnant smokers,
and in these smokers, mean salivary and serum cotinine levels are related by a ratio of 1.25. However, as nicotine metabolism
