*ECs might help women who smoke while pregnant to stop smoking. Their use during pregnancy appears to be as safe as the use of NRT and may reduce the risk of having a low‐birth‐weight baby compared to the use of NRT. In countries where stop‐smoking advice includes, among other treatment options, a recommendation to switch to ECs, such a recommendation can be extended also to pregnant smokers.
