A member asked:
My husband smokes e-cigarettes. are my children and i at risk for second hand smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The material expelled from a e cigarette does not contain the toxic ash expelled from the regular ones. That said, e cigarettes promote the same "cool factor " myth about smoking and if kids find and eat/use the product, can result in significant toxic events.
