Los Cigarrillos Electrónicos y el Embarazo

Como futura mama, usted puede estar buscando maneras de dejar de fumar. Algunos pueden preguntarse si los cigarrillos electrónicos (también conocido como e-hookah, e-bolígrafos, plumas vape o tanques) son una forma segura de dejar de fumar durante el embarazo. E-Cigarrillos son cigarrillos que funcionan con baterías que convierten a los productos químicos, incluyendo la nicotina, en un vapor que se inhala a continuación.

La verdad es que los cigarrillos electrónicos NO son regulados, y no se puede saber qué tipos o cantidades de productos químicos, como nicotina, contienen. No hay estudios conocidos que han documentado su seguridad , y la FDA no ha aprobado los cigarrillos electrónicos como una ayuda para dejar de fumar.

Además, la nicotina es una sustancia adictivo que es tóxico para la reproducción e interfiere con el desarrollo del cerebro fetal. También puede afectar adversamente el desarrollo pulmonar fetal y aumentar el riesgo de SMSL (síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante). Productos sin humo de tabaco, como el tabaco de mascar, tabaco soluble, tabaco y snus (una forma húmeda de tabaco) se han asociado con muerte fetal, parto prematuro, y la apnea infantil cuando se usa durante el embarazo. Por lo tanto, lo mejor es evitar el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos y otros productos que contienen nicotina durante el embarazo.

Si usted esta teniendo dificultades para dejar de fumar durante el embarazo por su cuenta o con el asesoramiento, usted puede considerar la terapia de reemplazo de nicotina (NRT). Formas de NRT aprobados por la FDA incluyen chicle de nicotina, parches, inhaladores, spray nasal y pastillas. Pastillas, como Zyban y Chantix, NO son recomendadas durante el embarazo. Es importante consultar con su doctor antes de usar un producto NRT para discutir los riesgos del uso de este tipo de productos durante el embarazo. Estos solo se deben usar bajo la supervisión de un doctor.
