- Health professionals advise against using any nicotine products during pregnancy, but some women are using e-cigarettes before, during or after pregnancy and thinking it's safer than smoking, U.S. researchers report.

Among those who used vapor products during the last three months of pregnancy, 38 percent used e-cigarettes with nicotine, 35 percent used vapor products without nicotine and 26 percent were unsure about the nicotine content.
"These numbers are sobering since the use is likely higher today," said Cindy McEvoy of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, who also wasn't involved in the study.
