E-Cigarettes in Pregnancy: What is the evidence base?
Some surprises for Jen and Amy today when we look into the safety of vaping or using e-cigarettes in pregnancy. We look at the main guidance document for health professionals in the UK produced by the Smoking in Pregnancy Action Group and endorsed by Ash (Action on Smoking and Health), Best Beginnings, Bliss, the Lullaby Trust, Royal College of Midwives, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Royal Society for Public Health, Royal College of Nursing, SANDS, and Tommy’s; among others… So it’s a well supported document!
