There is no safe amount of secondhand vape exposure, and the home is a primary place where children and adults inhale it. To protect yourself and others, do not vape or allow vaping in your home or car, and encourage family members to quit. Smoke and vape emissions can linger in a room for hours, and opening windows or using fans and air purifiers does not eliminate the danger. Vaping in another room does not shield others from harm, as secondhand emissions can travel through doorways, walls, and ventilation systems. In apartment buildings, these emissions can spread between units. Banning all tobacco use, including e-cigarettes, in your home not only sets a good example for young people but also protects non-users from harmful substances in e-cigarette aerosol. Quit vaping today and inspire others to do the same, considering the serious risks of secondhand vape exposure.
