Nicotine Patches for Scots Teenagers
The £180,000 lottery-funded pilot scheme is to give nicotine patches and gum to teenagers in a bid to stop underage smoking. The schoolchildren will also be trained to counsel each other.

The scheme is to be launched in Lanarkshire, Scotland, where almost half of cancer deaths are linked to smoking.

Prof Ian Stolerman, a nicotine expert from the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College, London, said: "NRT poses a much greater risk for children than for adults.Children are much more susceptible to becoming dependent upon nicotine, so great care is needed in prescribing treatments."
