Examining pregnant smokers' attitudes toward cessation aids and electronic nicotine delivery systems.

Introduction: Tobacco remains one of the most commonly used substances during pregnancy. Despite the many health risks, pregnant women report low nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) adherence and associated quit rates due partially to perceptions of increased harm related to NRT use. The health risks coupled with the continuation of tobacco use reinforce the need for a greater understanding of these behaviors and attitudes towards NRT and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in pregnant women. Therefore, the current study aims to understand pregnant smokers’ attitudes towards cessation aids and various tobacco products.
