vaping concerns

[JoshB]

Hello have been vaping a few weeks and was convinced I wasn't harming my body except for a low amount of niccotine.
Am now concerned after reading a few articles.
Please someone help I'm now worried as have vaped in the same room as my child, and am now reading it could be carcinogenic to me and anyone breathing it in passively!
Thanks JoshB

Junk Science!!!
While we cannot be sure that vaping is harmless, we are confident that it's much less harmful than smoking, and studies (other than the one you read) show that it's practically harmless to others around us.
It's not a Proven that it's harmless, but there are medical professionals, researchers, etc that so far cannot find any concern as far as a possible 2nd hand vape.

There are many articles that you can read through if you're interested... then you can make that decision yourself.

Media and General News
Health, Safety and Vaping
Tobacco Harm Reduction
Most members here don't vape near their children for many reasons... health being one of them.
I try not to vape around my young one either, but I'm not exactly concerned for his safety as far as the vapor.
I do vape 0-mg nicotine for the most part...
He does love to "smash" vapor rings! Just use common sense and keep the devices and juices waaay out of reach!
vape on!

I don't vape around my boys either I put a thread out about vaping around kids to see others opinions after reading everyone's input I decided it would be best to keep it on the porch

In my post #6 on the first page I posted more than a handful of studies. If you were a smoker and are choosing to vape it is your choice, as far as we all know its clearly the healthier choice.

You will have some nicotine in your vapor, so yes people that are close to you I would not blow there way ....

There have been some studies that show that the risk posed by second-hand vape is negligible.

The more important question is what sorts of behaviors do you want ot model for your children?

The much more important question is what relative risks your children face from toxic foods, clothes and environment? For example, we think of vaping as harmful because it resembles smoking but, in truth, a serving of crispy bacon will put your child in contact with nitrates and othercarcinogens that drastically increase the risk of colon-rectal cancer, fats and cholesterol which contribute to heart disease and obesity, etc. Mattresses, toys, pillows and childrens wear are often treated with flame-......ent neurotoxins that also happen to be carcinogenic--for no real reason. The household paints, cleaners, insecticides, even soaps pose more significant threats than the occaisional second-hand vape.

Let's be careful to prioritize our panic and direct fear to its proper object.
