I wouldnt be as concerned being on a low mg patch for a week or two to have a better chance of succseeding as i would be
smoking , its the way alot of midwives ect recommend initially to
stop smoking . Agree long term is'nt recommended . to have a monitered and organised plan with midwife , nurse is important and more succsessful. Women shouldnt be put off from short term from patch or gum ect if it stops them smoking. Its far better for baby and mother than smoking .
