A member asked:

Is it safe to smoke a vapor hookah pen around a child of any age no flame no tar just contains 12mg of odorless nicotine ?

See below: Tobacco use around a child is associated with the child to having increased ear and respiratory infections. It would be wise not to do it as we still learning about secondhand exposure may or may not do in the long run.

Not recommended: As these have not been cleared by the fda yet, or studied for toxins released, i would recommend avoiding it until we know more about what chemicals are released. It might just say that it is 12 mg of odorless nicotine, but there are non-active chemicals such as preservatives and other chemicals in that solution that have not been checked yet.

Unknown: Ecigarettes of various types, including a vapor hookah, have not been studied in terms of sidestream smoke, and what harms may occur. They are not being adequately regulated now, and a lot of the ingredients differ between brands. Your smoking may not only effect the child through second-hand smoke but the example you are setting will increase the chance of him/her smoking when older.
