Adults living with children are more likely to vape than those without, putting kids at risk for what the authors of a new study describe as"the 'new' secondhand smoke."
"These children are potentially exposed to secondhand aerosols, an amalgam of compounds with yet unknown health consequences," the researchers wrote.According to the research letter, published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, 4.9% of American adults living with someone 18 or under reported using e-cigarettes. That's versus 4.2% of adults living in households without children according to study author Jenny L.
The authors of the new paper point out that, in addition to inhaling the aerosol secondhand, there's a risk that certain chemicals in e-liquids, namely nicotine, can be absorbed through the skin or even ingested. Experts warn of this particular risk among young children.Dr. Robert Jackler, founder of Stanford Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising, previously told CNN that some e-liquids with high nicotine concentrations represent"a huge poisoning risk.
