Vaping while pushing pram?

This is one of the (many) areas of life that mn seems to be completely hysterical about.
Unless you are quite literally funneling vape particulates towards the babies face the amount they can possibly breathe in whilst on a walk outside is miniscule (assuming the vaper is sensible and blows the 'smoke' away from the pram).
I am going to be that person that brings up fumes from petrol and diesel engines being a massively more significant factor to our children's respiratory health. Any child in a pram outside in a large town or city is breathing in huge amounts of chemicals that no parent would want their children to ingest, does every single mumsnetter take their children out of the city to only walk in the (relatively) fresh air of the countryside? Do you all keep your windows closed at all times and have air purifiers running at home? How about school, hope they are set well away from main roads with windows closed and air purifiers running for the entire school day and they are absolutely not allowed out into the play ground?

If most people on this thread are honest with themselves they view vaping as a working class/lower class pass time and that is what gives them the 'ick' about it rather than any actual credible threat to a baby in a pram outdoors.

I work in children’s healthcare. We don’t have all the data (yet) on the risk of vapes but there is a nice summary here from the professional body for children’s doctors of concerns bills.parliament.uk/publications/58020/documents/5726

No I don’t mind. My kids don’t have the slightest interest in my vape. They know that I’m an adult and I’m therefore allowed to do certain things that they are not. I want them to know I’m human. I don’t try to pretend to be perfect because that’s not realistic or sustainable. So your kids have never seen you have a glass of wine or heard a swear word slip out??…

It smells horrible and it’s horrible having it blown in your face.

I think the dummy reference is because some people need to have it in the mouths a lot. Like they rely on it. Like in the OP - the person can’t go an hour without it. So it’s an addiction.

Tattoos on babies are a no no as well.

This. Exactly. I get not liking smoking, there’s many evidence-backed studies about how harmful second-hand smoke is, plus it stinks. But vaping? It’s literally not offensive or harmful to anyone else. So it just shows that those condemning it on here being incredibly snobby and small-minded. And what’s the adult dummy thing all about? How is it anything like a dummy?!

@SerenaCat93 you are the only one on this thread that seems angry, triggered or juvenile in your responses. You might want to work on that.

No I don’t mind. My kids don’t have the slightest interest in my vape. They know that I’m an adult and I’m therefore allowed to do certain things that they are not. I want them to know I’m human. I don’t try to pretend to be perfect because that’s not realistic or sustainable. So your kids have never seen you have a glass of wine or heard a swear word slip out??…

So you don't mind your kids seeing you do it? Hardly setting a good example is it?

@SerenaCat93 the only one on this thread who seems angry is you……

Amongst the people I know it’s a commonly held opinion that yup vaping = stinky dummies. No reason to be angry. It just looks stupid and is an unpleasant habit (albeit less socially annoying than smoking which does smell a lot worse). So many vaping shops in town is also annoying but again not a reason for anger.
