Prof Andrew Shennan, from Tommy's, added: "It is vital that women are made aware of the possible risks associated with third-hand smoke, and alert those around them of the impact it could potentially have on the health of their baby.

NJOY replicates traditional smoking with remarkable accuracy, but is a preferable alternative because it: * contains none of the tar, additives or carcinogens found in tobacco-based products * produces no second- or third-hand smoke * leaves no lingering odor * can be freely used in places where traditional smoking is often banned, such as restaurants and offices * over time, is less costly than traditional smoking when used comparably Consumer acceptance of NJOY has been excellent.
