Abstract
Objectives: This study used 2000-2020 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data to estimate trends in smoking before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as quitting smoking during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: Weighted prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by year for each smoking-related measure. Annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) in prevalence were estimated using Joinpoint regression to characterize trends over time. Results: Between 2000 and 2020, significant decreases in the prevalence of smoking before (23.0% to 14.0%; AAPC = -2.3% [95% CI = -2.9% to -1.7%]), during (13.2% to 6.5%; AAPC = -3.4% [95% CI = -4.0% to -2.7%]), and after pregnancy (18.9% to 8.8%; AAPC = -3.6% [95% CI = -4.3% to -2.9%]) were observed. For each measure, the fastest declines occurred largely throughout the 2010s (before: APC = -5.5% [2012-2020]; during: APC = -5.1% [2009-2020]; and after: APC = -6.4% [2012-2020]). The proportion of people who quit smoking during pregnancy significantly increased from 43.2% in 2000 to 53.7% in 2020 (AAPC = 1.0%; 95% CI = 0.2%-1.9%); however, Joinpoint regression detected relatively no change in quitting during pregnancy between 2010 and 2020 (APC = 0.0%; 95% CI = -0.4% to 0.5%). Conclusions: The prevalence of smoking before, during, and after pregnancy has reduced dramatically in the United States between 2000 and 2020, with the fastest declines occurring throughout the second decade of the twenty-first century. However, prevention and cessation efforts are still needed since approximately half of people who smoked before pregnancy continue to smoke during pregnancy.

Abstract
Background and Aims: There is limited research surrounding dual maternal use of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). We aimed to assess predictors of maternal quitting of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and both during late pregnancy. Materials and Methods: We analyzed dual use (n = 4,006) and exclusive e-cigarette use (n = 1,685) among mothers using data from the 2016 to 2019 phase of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring Systems (PRAMS), a nationally representative sample of the United States. Dual use and exclusive e-cigarette use were defined based on use reported during the 3 months before pregnancy and quitting was assessed during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Multinomial and binomial logistic regression models estimated the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for predictors of quitting status among mothers who reported dual use and exclusive e-cigarette use, respectively. Separate predictor analyses were conducted in the dual and exclusive e-cigarette use groups to see predictors of quitting e-cigarettes, cigarettes, or both. Results: The highest proportion of mothers who used cigarettes and e-cigarettes before pregnancy quit both during late pregnancy (46.2%), followed by those who quit e-cigarette use only (26.5%) and those who quit cigarette use only (6.6%). Among mothers who reported dual use, those who were African American or Asian, of Hispanic ethnicity, consumed alcohol before pregnancy, had higher education, were married, had diabetes, had higher annual household income, had nongovernmental health insurance, had more prenatal care visits, had a higher frequency of e-cigarette use before pregnancy, had a lower frequency of cigarette use before pregnancy, and smoked hookah around pregnancy had a higher likelihood of quitting both cigarette and e-cigarette use during late pregnancy. Conclusions: Quitting use of cigarettes and/or e-cigarettes was fairly common among mothers who reported dual use or e-cigarette use only. Sociodemographics, pregnancy characteristics, and use of other tobacco products predicted quitting use of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes during late pregnancy.

Zhang Q, Wen C. The risk profile of electronic nicotine delivery systems, compared to traditional cigarettes, on oral disease: a review. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1146949. [PMID: 37255760 PMCID: PMC10226679 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1146949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has exploded, especially among teenagers and new smokers, amid widespread awareness of the dangers of traditional tobacco and restrictions on smoking. However, the risk effects of ENDS on physical health, especially oral health, are still ambiguous. The purpose of this study was to review the available evidence on risks of ENDS on oral health, and compares the differences between ENDS and traditional cigarettes. For heavy smokers, transferring the addiction of tobacco to ENDS can be less harmful to periodontal condition and physical health but is not completely without risk. The components of ENDS vapor have cytotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic properties, and its usage may be associated with a wide range of oral health sequelae. The chemicals in ENDS increase the susceptibility to tooth decay, increase the risk of periodontal disease, peri-implant, and oral mucosal lesions. Nicotine aerosols from ENDS can be a potential risk factor for oral cancer due to the presence of carcinogenic components. Compared to smoking traditional cigarettes, the harm associated with ENDS use may be underestimated due to the reduced ability to control vaping behavior, ease of ENDS access, fewer vaping area restrictions, and better taste. Currently, the available evidence suggests that ENDS may be a safer alternative to traditional tobacco products. Though most oral symptoms experienced by ENDS users are relatively mild and temporary compared to traditional cigarettes, the dangers of ENDS still exist. However, further research with longer follow-up periods is required to establish the long-term safety of ENDS.
