Question about safety of vapor around children

[Starspecks]

Hi I'm curious as to wether or not vapor from an ecigarette with nicotine would leave a nicotine "film"on the surface of things. I ask because I have a small child in the home and obviously don't want them absorbing it and would like to know if I should vape outside.

Every report I have read states that the nicotine is absorbed and almost none is present in the exhaled vapor. You might want to check on the CAASA web site. Just click on the signature at the bottom of my post.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm sure even if there is any it's going to be far less than let's say, a smokers clothes would have. I can't wait for my package! I'm so ready to quit smoking again. I hate it!

Second hand smoke is going to be far more dangerous than second hand vapor. There isn't enough nicotine in the vapor to cause one to become addicted or have any affect on their health. There is only a very slight scent, depending on what you're vaping and most of the time it's a good scent. I prefer the smell of Chocolate Eclair or Hazelnut Coffee over smoke any day!

Agree with wv2win and womanof heart, it is negligible. But to be on the safe side, I don't vape in front of or around my children. I don't want them curious or affected in any way.

Hope you do not let them drink sodas either

Okay, serious and legitimate concern Starspecks. I just have to share this funny thought I had and it isn't meant to be poking at you or anyone, I just needed to share it.

Nicotine is addictive right? Okay, yeah yeah. So can you imagine the FDA or ASH comlaining about kids coming into contact with an addictive film left on furniture? Picture a news story with some 20 or 30-something year old guy who's been battling the addiction of table licking his whole life!

I have never smoked analogs anywhere near my kid and have a smoking shirt and wash my hands and mouthwash. I know it's dangerous and disgusting. I'm definitely planning on still hiding the ecig so it doesn't get subconsciously put into memory. I was mainly thinking of vaping in my room if it would leave a residue in there.

Yeah they will say anything to get rid of something that can't be cashed in on

As far as we know, there is minimal if any nic expelled with the vapour. I never used to smoke around my kids, but now vape in the house with no guilt whatsoever. All they did before was complain about the way I smelt. Now they chase me around to see what flavour dad is vaping today, and certainly give their opinions on what they think. Well the 15 yr old in any case, and she can be quite opinionated as you can imagine.
