Cigarette électronique et grossesse : une étude quantitative menée auprès de 369 patientes. Quel est le comportement des femmes enceintes vis-à -vis de la cigarette électronique ?

The objective of this study is to know the behavior of pregnant women, their representations and the information they have received about the electronic cigarette and trying to establish a “vapoteuse” profile. Until now, no studies have demonstrated the use of the electronic cigarette in pregnant women. The descriptive quantitative study is based on an anonymous questionnaire of 26 questions containing the general data of the surveyed pregnant women, the state of knowledge about the electronic cigarette and type of information received. A total of 369 questionnaires were analyzed in 2014. The results of this study show that only 1% of pregnant women consume e-cigarette (2 pregnant women) and 17% have experienced. The consumers of e-cigarette are smokers consuming more than 5 cigarettes a day. Concerning information, 24% of women say they have received during their pregnancy. Pregnant women are so suspicious about the use of e-cigarette. The consumption recommendations during pregnancy are known by the majority of patients but harmonizing the speech given by health professionals and the media should be performed.
