vaping in the same room as baby

I’d wait til kids at least a year old and even then keep ur distance n don’t blow in their direction before I was pregnant my husband and I both vape in the house with my 3 yr old I just avoid hitting it when he’s close

Personally I have no issue with people vaping, it’s a personal choice, I used to love smoking weed pre kids 😅but I don’t believe it’s ever ok to do it infront of kids. not only for the passive vaping risk but also, do you want your child to vape in the future ? They will copy what they see. Do you know the associated risks /how many cigarettes a vape is equivalent to etc, again no shade it’s a personal choice, I do get some health anxiety now as I want to be here for my kids for a long time to come

Wherever possible you should still leave the room or go outside. Just because the risk of SIDS starts to drop doesn't mean there aren't other risks that come from vaping around babies and kids (even other adults) . It really isn't too hard to just leave the room to avoid exposing kids to that in general for their health as it still releases chemicals into the air, can still cause lung damage and increase risks of asthma etc. It doesn't stay in the air as long as cigarette smoke but there's still a health risk to them and as kids who can't make that choice it's not fair or worth it to expose the to that for the sake of not wanting to leave the room.

(not saying it to bash but realistically there is no correct age it's just something you shouldn't do. Just leave the room or wait until you can)

Honestly, there really isn’t a safe age to vape around a baby or child. Even though it’s called “vapor,” it still has nicotine, chemicals, and tiny particles that can harm little lungs and settle on clothes and furniture. It’s safest to keep vaping totally separate from where your baby eats, sleeps, and plays.

Is there no way you can step out of the house? Im not bashing as you do you but it's really not good for the baby ... Their lungs are so small and they can't cope with that. It's also not fair so if you can step out whilst you do it I would.

Gross

Never. It is never ok to vape in the same room as a child. You CHOOSE to vape. They don’t. They shouldn’t have to be exposed to it. Go in another room. It’s not difficult

Tbh I view vaping as the same as smoking cigarettes. I get that there’s differences but since vaping became a thing it seems like there’s just a pass on it and it’s not seen as bad as smoking cigarettes because you can’t smell it or something idk they’re just as bad though imo and I don’t think kids of any age should be around it

I honestly dont know because my fan stays on 24/7 and I vape as well as smoke . Maybe if he's on the opposite side of the room with the window open and baby is playing on one side may work but truly idk

I would say never. My husband is vaping but it’s a definitely not ok do it in the house. He once vape in his office and got mad like crazy because our daughter go there sometimes, and third hand smoke is still an issue.

Smoking cigarettes burns your lungs, vaping (whether there’s nicotine or not) drowns your lungs. So long as it’s not air, it’s not good for your lungs either way. I’ve done both & have always questioned the intelligence of those who told me “vaping is better for you” 🙄 Growing up, my dad used to get shit for smoking around the kids & his excuse was “I leave the windows open so it’s fine”. I can tell you right now that it was most certainly not okay even WITH the windows open because the kids can still smell it. If that’s the case with cigarettes, pretty sure it’s the same with vape AKA it’ll still be in the air when in a shared space.

I believe my dad just used to smoke around me at any age, can't see that it did any damage appart from me hating it and hating cigarettes throughout my life 😅
I don't vape and my partner stopped, but I'd say at least a year?

Vaping is fine, I don’t want my husband doing it for health reasons but if someone hits their vape across the room from my baby it’s literally fine.
I definitely wouldn’t want someone hitting their vape while holding my baby though.

The judgment on a post that's supposed to be in a judgment free zone is wild, but I'm new.. I would say do your research and go from there.

I would say never, not while your son is still under 13, certainly NOT while he's a baby or even a toddler. And keep in mind that if u do that in front of ur kids they'll be more likely to think it's ok and end up doing that when they're teenagers, and it's harder to convince them that it's something they shouldn't do if they see u doing it.

i wouldn’t vape in the same room as your child unless your hanging your head out of your window like i do i practically hang my whole body out of the window to blow it out as i live in a flat so i can’t leave to go outside when im on my own. if im not alone i go outside as its so much easier than nearly falling out my window 🤣x

I think you both should always step away. Its not that hard to go to another room or outside

i don’t personally do it but don’t care that others do but i know there’s a thing called “zeroing” where you just inhale all the smoke and don’t exhale, of course i wouldn’t do it super close to baby but if there’s no smoke coming out then maybe it couldn’t harm them? i’m not really sure, just something off the top of my head

Same as , my car was coated in a sticky residue from vaping. Even if baby is in a different room, that residue is settling on all baby’s toys that he’s then playing with and putting in his mouth. It’s really not hard to go outside, or at least stand by the open door or lean out a window. 6 months is years and years too young

I remember this from when I used to vape, too. I feel like just going outside or at least vaping out of a window is the best solution here.
I grew up with a dad who smoked and still does. But cigarette smokers usually always go outside, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I also understand how hard it is to quit. I was extremely addicted to vaping (I was hitting that thing CONSTANTLY), but I did manage to quit cold turkey as soon as I found out I was pregnant. It was rough for a few days and for about a year I would still feel that urge whenever I got stressed. Now, after more than 2 years I feel no desire whatsoever.

Being a woman carrying a child is very much a major motivator. My husband has tried quitting Copenhagen and Zyn several times now. It’s hard when it’s just you and your own health that is immediately affected by it. Not that second-hand smoke can’t affect babies, but it’s still a different motivation I think.
I wonder if there’s such a thing as smokeless vapes? I was low-key forced to use one (for cigarette smoke) in Japan , since smoking in public like we do here or in Europe is considered very taboo.

I kinda went on a ramble here, but just want to let you know that I understand and I’m sure y’all will find a reasonable solution. 🫶🏻

Never okay and the chemicals stick to your clothes and skin then can be transferred onto baby and be absorbed into his/her skin. Please do not vape around children or even before seeing children. I did my dissertation on this and honestly it’s awful, please stop if you can it’s really not worth it

can you imagine what that does for your health though .. that’s got to be even worse for your lungs?😬

definitely 😂
