Is NOT Safe: Nicotine patch aids smoking cessation; supplies low-level nicotine, eases withdrawal symptoms. Available also as gum, lozenge, inhaler. All of these products are NOT safe for use in pregnancy; neither is continuing to smoke. Success is multi-modal: avoiding triggers, behavioral modification therapy, & more. See your doctor now. On-going support/guidance will increase your chances for success.
