is it safe to vape around pets?

[RickTheBeard]

i was just vaping without thinking then i noticed my cat behind me on my bed having a sneezing fit.
im wondering is there enough nicotine in the vapor exhaled to cause any bad effects on animals that small?
thanks

 

[elmattias]

The sneezing could have been coincidental...then again it could be because pets have stronger noses then ours...I'm thinking more coincidence though...as you exhale water vapor

 

[RickTheBeard]

not really the sneezing im worried about, as most of us know high consentrations of nicotine is extremely posionus to humans so even a small amout into a 4 or 5 kg animal could be deadly. my question is more how much nicotine dosnt get absorbed from my exhail and how much could a cat inhale from that second hand vape?

 

[kristlynngirl]

I wouldn't worry as long as you don't let your cat get into the liquid. PG is poison to cats.

My kitties sneeze from time to time, and the one I had before I started vaping sneezed even before I picked up the habit (or hobby lol). Just don't blow it in their face!

The quantity of nic expelled by vaping is not harmfull to pets, although there are some that just run.... Other then that i can say that the nic dissapears within seconds in the air.

Not wise to put your pet vaping............. no kit available yet

Well, there's a little flavoring left in the vapor you exhale. Most likely your cat doesn't like the scent of your atomic bacon strawberry menthol.

Lol, commie. I'd probably have an allergic reaction to that too!

I understand that what's released in the vapor is generally harmless to children and pets, buuuut, why take the chance? At home I vape in the bathroom or when the little ones are asleep and the cat is in another room (usually sleeping with one of my girls). It used to be that kids didn't need car seats or seat belts and that 9 out of 10 doctors recommended Pall Malls because it would cure everything short of the common cold and we all know how both those things turned out once the real research was done. My kids and cat won't be anyone's guinea pig until I'm completely convinced inhaling exhaled vape is no worse than breathing New York City air. I might have just shot my argument with that last bit, but you get my point ;-)

Until there is definitive proof about 2nd hand vape I would not risk exposing my beloved pets to it. I never smoked in an enclosed area with them either. JMHO

I am around my cat a lot of the time. She tells me what bothers her or not. When I smoked, I used an exhaust fan to pull out the smoke from my inside smoking area. She still hated it and would leave the area. I always felt guilty, but couldn't quit.

Now with vaping she sits on my lap. It doesn't seem to bother her in the least. At first she would see the vape cloud and tense up, smell the air, then relax.

I am happy that I quit smokes. My cat is happy that I quit smokes. When her sensitive nose doesn't get bothered by my vaping, I figure all is good. If I had kids I would likely vape around them as well.

There is some concern with cats and PG. I don't have cats, so haven't really paid attention. Here is a link to a vid I saw about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvMLRfSdPx0

Short answer, NO..

I have 11 cats inside my house and have vaped for well over 3 years inside.. No one has had any problems.. Rest easy..
Your kitty is safe Rick..

If its safe for humans it's safe for animals. If you are worried check with your vet. I am sure it's ok. Air pollution is probably worse than the vape.

One of my cats stole one of my eGo's a while back. Now he stealth vapes under the bed where I can't get to him easily. But now I only let him get to the juices I don't particularly care for. There's probably a fight coming...

Just curious...

Where does the Nicotine go when it "dissapears"?

 

[SpringzVz]

It dissipates. As for cats and PG go here for a brief on it. http://msdssearch.dow.com/Published...ycol/pdfs/noreg/117-01660.pdf&fromPage=GetDoc

After all that is said and done My personal experience is I have had many cats over the years and they all have ate dog food that contains pg and all died from old age. I have a cat now and have vaped for a couple years and no issues however when she happens to get into the vapor close and direct her nose doesnt like it.

Totally need to try that flavor...effen right.

I caught an Itty Bitty Kitteh Committeh making a tincture of catnip and VG in the back yard behind my shed. They were extremely happy with the results

I know this is about cats, but my dogs love the smell of many of my smoke juices and I have to be careful to keep the juice bottles and my smoke tanks out of reach. My minature poodle tried to grab my smoke set up when he was in my lap last night and I would not want them to get into the juice.

 

[RickTheBeard]

thanks for all the replys guys i really appreciate it

I have two cats and dog, none of them seem to mind the vapor much at all. In fact, they now cuddle up in my lap! Back when I smoked analogs, the instant they smelled that stinky smoke they would run away as fast as the could.
