I was given a newspaper cutting last year about "third hand smoke" breathed in by babies from clothing or furniture. Nicotine and cotinine were found in urine and hair of 49 babies, even when the parents smoked outside. Has any more recent research been done on this - or where can more information be found? |

Can I have the validity and reliability of the questionnaires listed on the research resources section? They are:
1. Dependence questionnaire (Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependency [FTND])
2. Past quit attempts questionnaire
3. Smoking motives questionnaire
4. Motivation to stop smoking questionnaire
5. Health questionnaire
6. Research consent form
7. Mood and Physical symptoms questionnaire
8. Physical activity questionnaire
9. Social support questionnaire
I will be using this for my research proposal and would be grateful if you can help! |

We are changing the way that we deliver smoking cessation to pregnant women. The service has always been provided by smoking cessation advisors, not midwives, using a home visit. This has proved costly, not very effective and difficult to manage.
We are starting to work with Childrens Centres and Sure Start venues.
Is there another service that has experience of providing smoking cessation for pregnant women from these venues? |

The new service monitoring guidance refers to the updated Russell Standard. I note that the one on the website (which we currently use) is dated 2005 is this the most up to date or is there another one? |

Page 17 of the new Department of Health monitoring guidance (NHS STOP SMOKING SERVICES. Service and Monitoring Guidance – October 2007/08): "Smokers who participate in an assessment session but fail to attend for treatment should not be counted but those who have consented to a programme of treatment, attended their first session and have set a quit date should be included".
Does this therefore mean that any clients who attend only the assessment session (one session) and no treatment sessions (maybe because they are unable or do not wish to), but consent to treatment and have set a quit date are to be counted? |

At Walsall Stop Smoking Service we would like to subscribe to Addiction and Tobacco Control journals so that we can keep up-to-date with current research. However we can't afford the subscriptions. I am wondering if there may be some way for several services to share the subscription cost and for several of us to access the journals. |

I have recently got a query on chewing tobacco. Are there any papers on this topic? And what is the effective treatment for it? |
