E-cigarettes might help pregnant women to quit smoking, and their safety during pregnancy is similar to that of nicotine patches, according to Australian and international research. The trial compared refillable e-cigarettes with nicotine patches and found that quit rates in the two groups were similar - although in one analysis the e-cigarettes did slightly better. The safety profile was found to be similar for both products, however, having a low birthweight baby was less frequent among mothers who used the e-cigarettes.
