This brief exposure probably isn’t a huge deal, but secondhand vape aerosol (the “smoke” from vaping) is definitely a thing, even if it smells like candy. How harmful is it?
Just like people around smokers can breathe in cigarette smoke, it’s possible to breathe in e-cigarette aerosol if you’re around someone vaping. This is called secondhand vaping, and there isn't a lot of published research yet on how inhaling this aerosol affects the body, especially among adolescents.
Secondhand cigarette smoke is associated with a wide array of negative health outcomes. Now, recent studies suggest secondhand e-cigarette vapor also may harm respiratory health.
A 2022 study found a link between secondhand vape exposure and an increased risk of shortness of breath and bronchitic symptoms in young adults. E-cigarettes contain ultrafine particles that can...
Secondhand cigarette smoke is a combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke has been linked to cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
The only way to eliminate secondhand exposure is to prohibit smoking and vaping indoors, including in cars and other vehicles, and near air intakes and entryways to enclosed spaces. Doing so will help protect occupants from exposure to the harmful chemicals these products may release.
Secondhand smoke isn’t as dangerous as inhaling directly from a cigarette, but regular and prolonged exposure to it is considered a serious hazard. E-cigs heat e-liquid with a small metal coil housed in an atomizer, and the heat turns the e-juice into the vapor you see.
A new study by researchers at Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and Rollins School of Public Health shows that children living in households where e-cigarettes are used are...
Secondhand vaping is exactly what it sounds like: if you're near a person breathing out vapor from an e-cigarette, you generally breathe in the same air that they're exhaling and can inhale...
The results were telling: Children ages 4 to 12 exposed to secondhand e-cigarette vapor showed significantly higher levels of metabolites linked to chemicals found in e-cigarette liquids compared to unexposed peers.
