Birds can be extremely sensitive to high-nicotine vape juices. Because of their small lungs, a little goes a long way for birds… and that little can put them in a vet hospital. If you own birds, NEVER vape nicotine vape juices around them.

Vaping around your birds can be just as dangerous as smoking around them. In addition, the nicotine solution is far more concentrated than the nicotine in cigarettes, so if your bird were to swallow any of it, there is a high risk of rapid death. Simply put, do not vape around your birds.Jun 4, 2019
