BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Apr 14, 2021
Bowker K, Lewis S, Phillips L, et al. - Researchers conducted a cross‐sectional survey in order to determine the prevalence of vaping in pregnancy. In addition, characteristics and attitudes were compared between exclusive smokers and vapers, and between exclusive vapers and dual users (smoke and vape). Screening questions were completed by 3,360 pregnant women, 515 of these (15.3%) were exclusive smokers, 44 (1.3%) were exclusive vapers and 118 (3.5%) were dual users. The full survey was completed by 867 (25.8%) women; compared with smokers (n = 434), vapers (n = 140) were more likely to hold higher educational qualifications. Per findings, one in 20 pregnant women describe vaping, and most also smoke. Relative to smokers, dual users are more motivated towards stopping smoking. In cases where women have tried but cannot stop smoking, they suggest clinicians to encourage the women to consider vaping for smoking cessation.
