Does Nicotine Gum Safely Help Pregnant Women Stop Smoking?

摘要

Oncken and colleagues studied whether nicotine replacement therapy (2 mg nicotine gum) was a safe and effective adjunct for smoking cessation during pregnancy. The authors conclude that nicotine gum does not improve smoking cessation rates in pregnant women, but neonate birth weight is significantly increased to the average weight of neonates born to nonsmokers.
