A member asked:

Is smoking vapors(e-cigs) safe with asthma and breast feeding..it has propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine in it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

E cigs: I would not recommend it, as it still has some toxic chemicals that can be harmful and affect you and the baby. But if the alternative is smoking cigarettes, i would rather you smoke the e cigs.
