Vaping before, during and after pregnancy: leaflets and infographics

These resources have been designed by the Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group to inform health professionals and support conversations with pregnant women who smoke and are inquiring about e-cigarettes. In the short and medium term, vaping poses a small fraction of the risks of smoking. However, vaping is unlikely to be risk-free, particularly for people who have never smoked. This page provides resources and information about the use of e-cigarettes before, during and after pregnancy. Smoking tobacco at any point during pregnancy can harm the developing baby. Stopping smoking is one of the best things a woman and her partner can do to protect the health of their baby through pregnancy and beyond.
