Is Vaping and secondhand e-cigarette aerosol safe during pregnancy?
Vaping isn't recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the aerosol contains nicotine. Keep vapes away from you and the baby.
What the sources say
MotherToBaby says e-cigarette use is not recommended during pregnancy (possible links to preterm birth and low birth weight) or while breastfeeding (nicotine passes into milk). CDC notes e-cigarette aerosol can contain harmful chemicals including nicotine, and little is known about effects on infants. Data on secondhand aerosol specifically are limited, so keeping your home and car vape-free is the cautious choice. CDC says mothers who vape can still breastfeed but should be encouraged to quit.
