Do you vape around you baby/kids

i agree, it’s a huge boundary of mine. i made sure my husband wasn’t a smoker or drinker before we started dating and especially after becoming a mom i cut off so many friends/family for being smokers. maybe i could tolerate it before being a mom but now i can’t

We smoke outside or by the door if the children are away

Vape outside. If my partner has a cigarette (which is super rare) I make him shower and brush his teeth 😂 but, thats mainly because I don't want her to smell like smoke. The rule is you're fine to pick up baby after an hour of having one I think but, I'm sure lots of mums have smoking coats and wash their hands and stuff so they can tend to their babies sooner

Due to becoming a single mum, moving house all by myself, no village etc, I started smoking again 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes life gets tough and although I plan to quit asap, i think we need to give mums and dad's grace as you never know what they are going through.

But I agree, making sure to only smoke outside and being mindful of second hand smoke is important.

yep :) and for drinking alcohol :D and no i don’t feel bad about it. don’t care if you think that makes me a shitty friend either because i’m a mom first before im anybody’s friend

she’s literally saying people who smoke AROUND children shouldn’t be allowed near them, as in people who would smoke in the same room as a child. She isn’t saying that people who smoke in general shouldn’t be around children.

The way Angel has written her comment is very easy to comprehend in my opinion

My husband is a smoker (vape and weed, occasionally cigarettes). Our son would be around but we just tell him to go play elsewhere because he’s smoking. My family and his family (vapes and cigarettes) are smokers too . Our 5 year old know what weed and vape is as we educate him on it.

I stopped vaping and smoking weed when I found out I was pregnant with my surprise baby, continued not to smoke while breastfeeding but after I’d stopped breastfeeding and was struggling a lot with ppa I started vaping again, I wish I hadn’t because the only thing that made me stop before was finding out I was pregnant and it’s so hard to stop but I don’t vape around my son ever, unless I’m outside and someone else stands near his pram while I step away.

Quitting weed was really easy for me though as I only smoked on occasion with friends, so I was never dependent on it

Nope, and if anyone did, I wouldn't be coming around them again. My parents always go across the way from the kids to smoke

@Emily Anyone who smokes near children shouldn't be allowed around them. If they don't care about the childs health, then idc if they want to be around them. Period.

Back when I used to smoke me and my partner would smoke outside the house and had a front door with a glass pane so we could see in and keep and eye on our child in their stroller at the end of the hallway. I’d never allow my child to inhale anytype of smoke as my lifestyle choices aren’t my child’s. Anyone else who smoked/smokes who came to my house all knew the rules that if you’re smoking it has to be outside the property and I’ve never had any issues with those rules in place as they all respect that it’s for my child’s health. I believe we should keep our choices separate to our children’s

I’m knocked up now so no firing up anything anywhere 🙃 but when I’m not, I smoke weed inside, cigarettes outside. BUT my children are teens, I don’t do it in the same room. We live in CA and the culture around weed is different, it’s more acceptable than me smoking cigarettes. My kids have no interest in it and know not to touch anything in the places it’s put up, but it’s an open subject, again because they’re teens. I didn’t smoke anything until my oldest was 10, (good old divorce stress!) and I was a lot more discreet until the oldest was 13 and it became something some of his peers were doing, etc.
ETA I am transparent because again, it’s readily available here and I know it’s on campus. I want my sons not to think it’s something I would judge or they can’t come to me about so I try not to do moral grandstanding. I’d rather be the one to safely have some input and give them guidance than risk them smoking or trying anything from any peer or other adult.

No one understands how harmful the passive smoke could be on others, we are starting to see some pretty scary results on what it does to the smoker and wouldn't encourage young people to be influenced by people that they love/trust/look up to to want to try vaping x

It’s just mental to me that it’s 2024 and people vape or smoke around kids. How selfish do you have to be

My husband smokes but he does go outside and puts a jacket on to do so. If my daughter is outside he will go out the front to do it so it’s not around her.

Never in the house and I wouldn’t tolerate anyone doing so

Definitely not..
