[Other Methods of Consumption: Electronic Cigarette, Heated Tobacco, Shisha and Snus - CNGOF-SFT Expert Report and Guidelines on the management for Smoking Management During Pregnancy].

Other methods of cigarette consumption include a variety of electronic products, as well as heated tobacco, snus and shisha. The questions in this chapter are: what other methods of consumption are used during pregnancy (either electronic or containing tobacco) and what is their prevalence? What is their benefit/risk balance? Can their use during pregnancy be proposed? Although the fetus is not exposed to the combustible toxins of tobacco, e-cigarette products may contain nicotine, which maintains the exposure of the fetus. Further research is needed on the other components of the electronic cigarette, such as flavorings and propylene glycol and/or glycerol, in order to assess the benefit/risk balance. In addition, some solvents contain ethanol. In the current state of knowledge, the precautionary principle should be respected and not recommend the initiation or continuation of the electronic cigarette during pregnancy (professional agreement). For smoking cessation or electronic cigarette cessation, it is recommended to provide the same advice and to use methods that have already been evaluated (professional agreement). For the JUUL, there are currently no data on obstetrical outcome when used. The use of shisha during pregnancy is associated with decreased fetal growth. It is recommended not to use shisha during pregnancy (GradeC). There are currently no data on the use of heated tobacco and obstetrical outcome.
