I quit smoking cigarettes 2 months ago (yay!) but my boyfriend uses a nicotine vape in the same room as me. Can this affect my healing or trigger a positive nicotine test before surgery? Thanks

Answer: Second Hand Vape Congratulations on quitting nicotine before surgery. That was the best thing you could've done for healing and overall health. Secondhand exposure to vape (although lower levels of toxins) does still cause exposure. I would recommend not being around any secondhand source of nicotine until 4 weeks after surgery.

Answer: Vaping Typically, there is not as much smoke released with vaping and non-vapers are safer. However, ask him to go vape outside to be safer. Better yet, he needs to quit. Vaping is actually more harmful than smoking.
