The Problems With ASH Scotland’s Midwife’s Guide to NRT

ASH Scotland released a guide for midwives on addressing nicotine use during pregnancy, causing confusion rather than clarity. The guide implies medicinal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is far safer than commercial products, despite both containing the same compound. Differences lie in purity, dose, and regulation, but evidence doesn't conclusively support medicinal NRT being "far safer." Caution is advised for pregnant individuals until further research clarifies the risks.
