ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The current study examined reasons pregnant women in Rhode Island use non-cigarette nicotine/tobacco products during and prior to pregnancy.METHODS:
Of the 124 pregnant women in Rhode Island enrolled in the study, 91% self-reported ever using e- cigarettes, hookah or cigars, and reasons for their use. We compared responses between participants who used these products during pregnancy (prenatal) and those who used prior to pregnancy (lifetime) for each product separately.RESULTS:
Participants reported using e-cigarettes as a cessation aid, hookah for entertainment, and cigars as a vehicle for marijuana consumption as primary reasons for use. There were no significant differences in reasons for using hookah or cigars between prenatal and lifetime users, but prenatal e-cigarette users were more likely to report affordability as a reason for use compared to lifetime e-cigarette users.CONCLUSIONS:
Differential reasons for use by tobacco product may have implications for targeted interventions in pregnant people in Rhode Island.Key words
