Reactions to study indicating that neither e-cigarettes nor nicotine patch use are associated with adverse effects in pregnancy

In pregnant women, neither regular use of electronic cigarettes nor nicotine replacement therapy is associated with unfavorable effects, according to a trial involving 1,140 pregnant smokers in England and Scotland. The authors analyzed the association between nicotine consumption by the two routes - vaping and nicotine patches - with parameters including infant birth weight, miscarriages, premature births and respiratory symptoms in the mother. The research is published in the scientific journal Addiction.
