Summary
This study tested whether giving smokers who aren't ready to quit nicotine products (like gum or patches) could lower the amount of secondhand smoke their children breathe in. 89 caregivers who smoked at least 10 cigarettes a day and spent time around their kids took part. Researchers measured children's saliva for cotinine, a marker of smoke exposure, and tracked lung function in both parents and children.
