Abstract
Background: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are increasing in popularity in the United States. Prior prevalence estimates of e-cigarette use in pregnancy range from 1% to 15%. Materials and Methods: We assessed prevalence of e-cigarette and conventional cigarette use during preconception or pregnancy in a large sample of racially/ethnically diverse, low-income pregnant women via telephone survey (2015-2018) and compared sociodemographic characteristics and mental health conditions. Results: Of 1365 pregnant women surveyed, 54 (4.0%) reported e-cigarette use (regardless of other tobacco use), 372 (27.3%) reported conventional cigarette use without e-cigarette use (conventional cigarette use), and 939 (68.8%) reported no tobacco or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product use during the preconception period and/or pregnancy. Seventy-four percent of women using e-cigarettes reported also using conventional cigarettes. Women who used e-cigarettes were more likely to report high school education or greater, income <$30,000, White race, and non-Hispanic ethnicity than women who used conventional cigarettes. Women who used e-cigarettes were more likely than women who used conventional cigarettes or no tobacco/NRT to report symptoms of depression. Women who used e-cigarettes and women who used conventional cigarettes were more likely than women who used no tobacco/NRT to report a history of severe mental health conditions, alcohol use during pregnancy, and marijuana or other drug use during preconception. Conclusions: In this sample, 4% of women used e-cigarettes during preconception and/or pregnancy and most also used conventional cigarettes. Increased efforts by providers to screen for tobacco (including use of e-cigarette) and polysubstance use and to provide cessation services could improve outcomes of mothers and children.
