Is vaping harmful if you don't inhale? Yes, because it is very difficult not to inhale the smoke because you are breathing in the environment permeated by smoke.At a very minimum, you will have the lung cancer risk associated with side stream smoking.

And by the time the vaper exhales, the vapor contains much less of all the substances that were in the inhaled vapor, because most of it is absorbed by the user's mouth, throat and lungs. There simply aren't enough of the already-scarce toxicants left over to make secondhand vapor a concern.May 20, 2022
