There has been discussions previously regarding whether e-cigarettes are a less cause for concern compared to tobacco. However, researchers at New York University commenced their study to see whether the nicotine in e-cigarettes cause the same developmental problems as smoking, and they found that smoking e-cigarettes while pregnant can harm the unborn child.
The scientists were also “shocked” to find that it was not just the nicotine itself, but the chemicals in the products which was having the biggest impact.
