Effects of Maternal Electronic Cigarette Smoking vs Tobacco Cigarette Smoking on Fetal Lung Development: A Narrative Review
Abstract
stages in the gestation period-the embryonic stage, which spans from weeks 0 to 6; the pseudoglandular stage, occurring from 6 to 16 weeks; the canalicular stage, lasting from 16 to 24 weeks; the saccular stage, encompassing weeks 24-40 (term); and the alveolar stage, which occurs after birth.5 Starting off from the embryonic stage, is the initial phase occurring right after conception.It's when fetal lung development occurs, spanning from 0 to 6 weeks of gestation.Around the 5th week of gestation, when the mother comes into play, most major organs begin to form.The embryo measures 4 mm in length.At this stage, the lung begins to show development as a small bud-like formation from a small tube of cells called the foregut, which occurs earlier.6 Primarily, once the foregut is formed, it bifurcates into the 1,
