| Zusammenfassung: | Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and e-cigarettes are recommended to pregnant women who wish to stop smoking. Albeit eliminating other harmful components of cigarettes, those alternatives still expose the developing fetus to nicotine. The lungs may be particularly vulnerable to damage by nicotine as there is widespread nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor expression in the lungs. There is, however, a paucity of information about the effect of NRT and e-cigarette use in pregnancy on infant respiratory outcomes. |
