Best thing : Is not smoking anything. Baby doesn't need or want nicotine in any way.

Cold turkey: You can taper off until the day you go into labor. To give your baby the best chance of good health, you need to stop as soon as possible. Although you eliminate the co2, tar and such, you still are giving your baby pure addictive nicotine with an e cigarette. I know quitting your addiction is hard to say the least, but cold turkey is what it will take. Make a plan with your family for support.
