Conditions studied: Immune Response, Birth Weight, Gestational Age

In brief

There has been a dramatic escalation of electronic cigarette (e-cig) use among women of childbearing age, including pregnant women. The overall goal of this study is to determine the effects of e-cigs on prenatal biomarkers and birth outcomes. It is imperative that more data about these effects be available to better inform women of childbearing age.
