“While research suggesting e-cigarettes may be useful for helping adult smokers quit continues to build, but the evidence remains inadequate to support a formal recommendation, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) determined.

The advisory group also found the data insufficient to assess the safety of established smoking cessation pharmacotherapies in pregnant women who smoke.”
