*This paper suggests that increases in teen prenatal cigarette smoking may be an unintended consequence of ENDS MLSAs among rural teens. Increases in prenatal smoking were entirely accounted for by pre-pregnancy smokers, suggesting that the mechanism through which ENDS MLSAs affected prenatal smoking was by reducing smoking cessation rather than by causing new initiation of cigarette smoking during pregnancy. | *This paper suggests that increases in teen prenatal cigarette smoking may be an unintended consequence of ENDS MLSAs among rural teens.

*Pregnancy is a special situation where there is a limited window to reduce the risk of harm to the fetus, and it may be that e-cigarettes have a role where other interventions have been unsuccessful. The available data suggest that ecigarettes have a risk profile very similar to that of currently available forms of NRT, but that trial participants are more likely to use them because of the similarities to conventional smoking. The best evidence we have is that NRT is safer than continued smoking, certainly for women who smoke more than five cigarettes a day in pregnancy. | *Pregnancy is a special situation where there is a limited window to reduce the risk of harm to the fetus, and it may be that e-cigarettes have a role where other interventions have been unsuccessful.
