“The study included <\/span>1,140 pregnant women who were trying to stop smoking<\/span><\/strong>, who were divided into two groups. Half of the women received e-cigarettes; the other half received nicotine patches. <\/span>Both approaches were equally safe<\/span><\/strong>. The only meaningful difference was that <\/span>fewer women in the e-cigarette group had children with low birthweight<\/strong><\/span> (weighing less than 2,500 grams). The researchers say this is most likely because <\/span>e-cigarettes were more effective in reducing the use of conventional cigarettes<\/strong><\/span>. At the end of their pregnancy, women reported whether they had quit. However, some women had quit smoking using a product they were not assigned, mostly <\/span>women given patches, who stopped with the help of e-cigarettes they had procured for themselves<\/strong><\/span>. When the researchers looked at successful quitters who only used the treatment they were allocated, they found that almost <\/span><\/strong><\/span>twice as many women had quit with e-cigarettes as with nicotine patches<\/span><\/strong>.” <\/span><\/p>\n
