AbstractIn Switzerland, about 13 % of pregnant women smoke, giving birth to more than 11'000 infants per year exposed to tobacco in utero. Although this proportion is stable since the 2000's, the users of nicotine with new devices (electronic cigarettes, inhaled heated tobacco, sniffed or chewed tobacco) are increasing. The literature is unanimous about deleterious effects of prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke on the fetus, with multiple short- and long-term consequences. Available data suggest that in utero exposure to e-cigarette could also expose the fetus to a similar profile of adverse effects. In this article, we review briefly the known epidemiological and mechanistic data on the short- and long-term effects of prenatal cigarette smoke and nicotine consumption.
