We are part of the North West Coast Local Research Network and participate in studies to promote medical research and improve care in the future for certain conditions. These studies are large studies involving many patients in many different hospitals. You may be asked if you wish to be part of a research study. This is entirely voluntary and you should not feel under any pressure to take part.

Using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as nicotine patches, is safer than smoking in pregnancy and can help people stop smoking.

Stopping smoking in pregnancy can be hard. SNAP3 is looking at new ways of supporting pregnant women to use NRT to make it easier for women to try to stop. By taking part in SNAP3 you can help improve stop smoking support for pregnant women.

• Are you less than 25 weeks pregnant?

• Do you smoke 5 or more cigarettes a day?

• Would you like to receive help to quit and are you happy to try using NRT patches? If YES – this study might be right for you!
