This type of vaping causes miscarriage
At a time when it became known that smoking poses a danger to women during pregnancy, a new study focused on some alternatives to traditional cigarettes, to show that they are not without dangers.
And scientists sent an urgent warning to pregnant women about some flavors of the electronic cigarette (vape), pointing out that it doubles the risk of miscarriage.
In a study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine, scientists found that women who smoked e-cigarettes with mint and menthol flavors had a higher risk of losing fetuses in their wombs than others.
US researchers monitored 600 pregnant women, some of whom smoked e-cigarettes, during their pregnancies to see how nicotine affected them.
The study did not show major differences between women who smoked and those who did not smoke, but there was an increased risk when the flavors of the e-cigarettes changed.
Scientists confirmed that women who smoked e-cigarettes with mint and menthol compound flavors before or during pregnancy increased their risk of miscarriage by 227 percent, compared to the rest of the flavors.
The study did not explain the cause of the increased risk of miscarriage as a result of smoking mint and menthol compounds.
But experts, quoted by the British newspaper “The Sun”, interpreted the matter based on previous studies, which indicated that the e-cigarette flavored with menthol leads to the destruction of DNA and cell death.
