Early Life Exposure to Nicotine: Postnatal Neurobehavioral and Metabolic Outcomes and theDevelopment of Childhood Cancers

However, postnatal outcomes of nicotine exposure from maternal use of e-cigarettes or nicotine replacement therapy remain uncertain and are a significant research gap in the field.
