Being unsure whether NRT is safe during pregnancy.
Kelly said: “I quit completely on my own. I didn’t use nicotine patches or anything cos I was scared the nicotine would hurt the developing brain and things like that. There wasn’t enough information for me to say having the nicotine patches is not gonna hurt your baby so I didn’t use them.
I think that’s where most people fail because I still wanted cigarettes. I craved them every day especially at first, it was really difficult.
I think that if there was more information about patches, gum, and things like that then it would be really good.”
Midwife Hull said: "Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) i.e. gum, patches or inhalers can double your chances of quitting.
They need to be prescribed by your stop smoking specialist."
