Hi I’m wondering if anyone can help me with information , I am a frequent vaper and I’m wondering if anyone knows much about how harmful it is to my child? She seems to have a bad chest every few weeks uses 2 asthma pumps and every few weeks require hospital treatment and steroids my other children who are much older never had any problems. The doctors say they don’t have enough info on vapes but I’m wondering if it because of my vape or just she simply has asthma ?

No, it's very good for her lungs and if you stop she'll be in hospital more 🙄

Of course it's bad. You are making your child ill.

I’m going to try to take this post at face value.

i am not in the uk. Like yours, my child has pretty severe asthma. I always got the distinct impression that if her asthma specialist ever found out we were exposing her to smoking or vaping, the doctor would call child protective services.

I have watched my child go from pink to grey in seconds. I have watched doctors work to save her life. I would do anything in my power to never experience those moments again.
