Boyfriend vaping around kids

So me and my boyfriend have a 18 month old and a 8 week old. Boyfriend vapes. I know people think these vapes are great bla bla but the science isn't settled and there's been evidence that these things can I fact be really harmful to you and those who breath them in. Well I've never smoked, vaped or anything and I'm really fussy when it comes to that sort of stuff around the kids. Well my fella keeps vaping around them even though he knows I hate it and am against it. He just completely ignores me and our whole living room ends up smelling like it and I worry about the kids breathing it in especially our new baby. He don't seem to think there's a problem. I don't mind him doing it elsewear or out the window but just feel like weather he thinks it's fine or not I'm their mother and my views and concerns should matter. I feel like throwing the damn think in the bin, but know that's childish haha.

@madroid the first study I quoted was published in the BMJ, so I assumed it would be peer reviewed? I edited my post when I realised the health line article might be an opinion.

Hmm... the two sources @beetr00 and @Notmyfirstusername quote aren't quite as robust as they first appear and wouldn't be accepted in a peer review.

The What to Expect one references itself, then a site which is an exploratory study without conclusions.

The other Healthline one references a study into perceptions of harm in the US.

If it were me I'd ask him to always go away from the children so that they don't see the example as much as anything, but also because it matters to you and that should be enough.

If he won't then you've got more of a relationship than vaping problem.😟

I do like to look at the facts. Still with an 8 week old just not worth amy risk.

Also not leaving pets with them etc.

You have bigger problems than vaping. He doesn't give a shit about you or the kids on this matter.
