Summary
This study looked at whether omega-3 supplements (fish oil) could help pregnant women who smoke have healthier pregnancies and possibly smoke less. About 237 pregnant smokers took either omega-3 pills or a placebo. The goal was to see if the supplements could reduce preterm labor and help women cut back on cigarettes. The results could lead to a safe way to improve outcomes for both mom and baby.
