Are e-cigarettes the best quitting aid for pregnant women?
Trial results suggest more women adhere to the devices and safety is no different from nicotine patches

UK and Australian researchers found in a randomised controlled trial that twice as many women using e-cigarettes were able to quit in pregnancy compared with patch users.
