===2022: [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01808-0 Electronic cigarettes versus nicotine patches for smoking cessation in pregnancy: a randomized controlled trial]===
*E-cigarettes might help women who are pregnant to stop smoking, and their safety for use in pregnancy is similar to that of nicotine patches.
===2020: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7369696/ Addressing and Overcoming Barriers to E-Cigarette Use for Smoking Cessation in Pregnancy: A Qualitative Study]===
*This study has described the solutions women employ to overcome potential or experienced barriers to vaping during pregnancy. Women vaped to help them reduce or stop smoking with the intention of improving their own and their baby’s health and wellbeing; by focusing on these reasons, women felt motivated and determined. Our findings have been incorporated into the TDF model, which can be used to inform e-cigarette interventions and support women who have not been able to quit smoking through traditional forms of support and would otherwise smoke.
===2020: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7053110/ Potential effects of using non-combustible tobacco and nicotine products during pregnancy: a systematic review]===
*The use of smoke-free nicotine products almost certainly has less effect than smoking on pregnancy outcomes (most of which are negative, but there are some positive effects), but any use of nicotine is probably worse for the fetus than none... This review demonstrates that the evidence does not support denying pregnant women the use of smoke-free products if the alternative is that she would continue to smoke.
=== 2019 [https://www.nber.org/papers/w26126 The Effect of E-Cigarette Taxes on Pre-pregnancy and Prenatal Smoking] ===
*We show that e-cigarette taxes increase pre-pregnancy smoking, increase prenatal smoking, and lower smoking cessation during pregnancy. These findings imply that e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes are substitutes among pregnant women.

===2019: [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167629618308129 E-cigarette minimum legal sale age laws and traditional cigarette use among rural pregnant teenagers]===
*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.
