While the long-term health effects of exposure to secondhand vaping are not yet fully understood, research has shown that it can potentially have negative health effects, especially if exposure is frequent or prolonged.

Some of the chemicals present in e-cigarette aerosol, such as nicotine, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and heavy metals, can be harmful to the lungs and cardiovascular system. Inhaling secondhand e-cigarette aerosol can also trigger irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Therefore, it is important to try to limit exposure to secondhand vaping, just as you would with secondhand cigarette smoke. If possible, try to avoid areas where people are vaping, and if you are in an enclosed space with someone who is vaping, try to open a window or move to a different location if you can.
