Parents who smoke cigarettes typically don’t light up in enclosed spaces like their cars or their homes with children or infants around.
After all, we’ve known for years that secondhand smoke is bad for our health.
But a recent study suggests a lot of parents are unaware those same rules should apply to e-cigarettes too — as secondhand and thirdhand exposure to vaping may also pose health risks.
A research team led by Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, pediatrician and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Tobacco Control, recently looked at how much more likely parents might be to use e-cigarettes in enclosed spaces.
