Pregnant Women using e-cigarettes to quit smoking, research finds

Groundbreaking research has uncovered the number of pregnant women in New South Wales using e-cigarettes.

Until now, there’s been little research and evidence on the risks of vaping while pregnant.

The study found around 1.24% of pregnant Australians are turning to vaping as a way to quit smoking, and young women are among the most affected.
