Every time you mention the hamster I laugh, and I don't know why. It's probably just a funny word/image.

Churchie, there are four main issues: (1) nicotine (2) flavorings (3) potential allergies to pg/vg/flavorings (4) Needless particulates.

In the case of (1), so far the studies that have been done to mimic you get while being exposed to vapor while in a crowded bar for a few hours, and it showed that while people did pick nicotine up, it was about the same amount they'd get from eating a potato. (2) is somewhat worrisome and would depend on what's used... something like pg/vg/menthol is considered safe (menthol has been studied well). (3) is self-explanatory. While (4) is probably minor in the grand scheme of things and is related to flavorings, it isn't "clean air" so it's a factor, especially if they're at an age where their lungs are still developing.

As mentioned, the biggest immediate danger with a little talking monkey is that eliquids often taste sweet, both due to flavorings and VG. You might have your bottles up and stored but not realize there's residue on the outside of the tank/dripper making them want to get into it... they might not be able to undo it, but it can get sucked out. Not telling you what to do, but to my knowledge those are the factors to consider.

Dude!!!!! The freakin hamster cracks me up everytime! I mean, everytime I browsed the originally mentioned thread, and now this one. I love it. Simple minds!
