Electronic cigarettes during pregnancy – harm from use
It is believed that e-cigarettes are safer during pregnancy. But this is fundamentally wrong. Electronic cigarettes work like this: they contain capsules containing a liquid that evaporates when exposed to high temperatures. This vapor mimics cigarette smoke and is inhaled by e-cigarette smokers.
Is there nicotine in e-cigarette vapor?
The liquid in an e-cigarette capsule is not always harmless. The problem is that most e-cigarettes are manufactured in China without proper quality control.
Electronic cigarettes are contraindicated in pregnancy
The e-cigarette during pregnancy is a dangerous hobby, as many of them are nicotine-containing, which is not always reported by manufacturers.
Thus, harmful substances continue to enter the bloodstream, but at a lower dosage. And during pregnancy, the fetus also consumes them.
The effect of the vapor of an electronic cigarette on the body of a pregnant woman
Smoking while carrying a child leads to malformations and developmental delays:
- deprives the body of the mother and fetus of vitamins;
- increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities;
- slows down blood circulation in the placenta.
Women who use nicotine are more prone to toxicosis, dizziness, shortness of breath.
A significant part of the toxins is filtered by the placenta. This leads to her premature aging, which can lead to premature birth or miscarriage. Carrying a baby is more difficult than non-smokers.
Electronic cigarettes have come into use relatively recently, so there are still no exact results of a study of the consequences of their use. But we should not forget that a lot is known about the dangers of nicotine, so we can say with confidence that when a future mother smokes an electronic cigarette, the amount of harmful substances entering the blood of her child will still be exceeded hundreds of times than that of a nonsmoking woman. And smoking an electronic cigarette also contributes to the appearance in a child:
- nervous disorders;
- heart disease;
- kosolaposti;
- obesity.
It should be noted that these children find it more difficult to study at school. Inhaling toxic air, a woman runs the risk of exposing the child to lung diseases:
- bronchitis;
- bronchial asthma;
- pneumonia.
Purposeful experiments on expectant mothers are prohibited. But cigarette manufacturers in the instructions warn about the dangers of exposure to smoke on laboratory animals.
The unequivocal conclusion – an electronic cigarette during pregnancy is categorically contraindicated.
