Just adding my $.02 worth of opinion.... I'd say vaping around infants is 10 billion times safer than smoking analogs. Is it 100% safe? No, of course not since nothing on this planet is 100% safe. Is it safer than taking them on a ride in your car? I bet it is....

Actually that's a brilliant analogy.....imagine just how easy it would be to start making people feel evil for risking their children's lives by taking them for a ride in the car.

Just because it's safer doesn't mean its safe and just because nothing is 100% safe doesn't mean hellwit everything I am going to do what I want.

It is rarely good to inhale a foreign substance into the lungs, you still can get respiratory problems... I mean people thought smoking cloves was great since it was safer than cigarettes, but they discovered it causes problems.....

With that being said as a Vapor and father of 2 daughters, I do vape around them in conditions I would never do with a cigarette.

IN the same room YES when they are sitting right up on me NO
IN the car YES with the window cracked open....when I am alone I leave closed

I am sure there isn't anything to worry about, but NOONE has been vaping 4-5 carts a day for the past 20 plus years.

Better safe than sorry....

a little side rant... (ONLY INCLUDING SOME NOT WHOLE) it is amazing when something is discovered as a safer alternative i.e. ecigs people think they can do it anywhere and everywhere as often as you want..... With in reason that IS True. With freedoms there are responsibilities and especially with this particular freedom being slowly torn away we don't need to give the opposing side any more ammunition ......

sorry I am not sure if i went far off topic or not hopefully I didn't cause the original post's to be side tracked

I still keep to outdoors because I'm a bit paranoid* about the effects of second-hand vapour, but winter's coming, and it would be nice to vape indoors. (Somehow I don't think an e-cig could handle our cold Canadian winters. Maybe I should get someone to knit an e-cig cozy!)

I'm thinking about sticking to the family room in the basement when most of the family is doing their thing upstairs. I know that smoking analogues anywhere in the house still exposes people to smoke, as it circulates around the home. What about vapour? I imagine if I'm using it on a lower level that it should just dissipate fairly quickly and not spread around the house upstairs.

But what do I know...

* I get all OCD about things.

We always smoked outside and not in the car. We now vape in the house and with the window open in the car.

But I wouldn't blow out a cloud of vapor if my 2 year old was standing right next to me.

Sitting next to me on the couch or in the car, my 16 year old, anti-smoking son says he doesn't even notice it.

I think with an infant under 2, because of SIDS, I wouldn't vape around them. Nicotine has to be in the vapor (I believe) and who knows how it would affect an immature respiratory system?
