A member asked:
Are water vapors/non nicotine vapors safe for people with asthma? but that has never smoked.
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Vapors: This appears to be asked for a 14 year old male - so I will provide a response. These vapors can act as pulmonary irritants - so do not recommend it for individuals with asthma. Do NOT recommend any type of vapors/smoking for a 14 year old boy.

No: the vapors from e-cigs are NOT harmless, and can trigger an asthma attack in susceptible people. Other vapors without nicotine can contain flavoring and other chemicals which can cause problems in some people.
