Vaping mums' babies weigh same as non-smokers

Pregnant women in a Dublin maternity hospital who used e-cigarettes delivered babies who had the same birthweight as non-smokers, a new study reveals.

The study at the Coombe Hospital found it was significantly greater than the birthweight of tobacco smokers.

It looked at 240 women attending the hospital who had a history of only using e-cigarettes.

Note: It is important to abstain from vaping, smoking, drinks. etc. during pregnancy and planning for a child. More significance matters are at hand. Posting this as it contrasts the effects of vaping and smoking on human health.

The amusing thing is that lower birth-weight (and thus an easier delivery) used to be touted as a benefit of smoking during pregnancy!

I was born with nicotine flowing through my veins, 2lb under weight, wide awake and full of nervous energy.
Look at me now! 2lb under weight, insomniac and full of nervous energy.

Less wealthy people are more likely to have been exposed to the relevant pathogens, and smokers are less wealthy, on average, than non-smokers. Apparently there's a wealth gradient between smokers and vapers, too.
