Use of nicotine replacement therapy to reduce children’s exposure to second-hand smoke in the home

Our findings confirm the need to modify the intervention before undertaking a definitive trial to assess the effectiveness of this approach. This work is now underway

Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out with 17 parents before and after the Scottish 2014 "Ri…
