Study reveals risks of vaping menthol during pregnancy on fetal development
A new study from the University of California - Riverside warns that menthol-flavored e-cigarettes may pose risks to fetal development. Published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, the research found that even low concentrations of menthol can disrupt key cellular processes in embryos. Many pregnant women turn to e-cigarettes as a safer alternative to tobacco, but the study suggests that menthol exposure may still be harmful. Researchers discovered that menthol activates stress-related channels in the blood, which play a role in various bodily functions, potentially affecting the unborn child.
