We get messages like this all the time:
“Hi — I’m a worried mom. I’m pregnant (or breastfeeding), my cravings are hitting hard… can I take a few puffs of a disposable vape?”
If you’ve asked this, you’re not alone. So instead of replying one-by-one, here’s our clear, consistent answer in one place.
Medically, vaping (including disposable vapes) is not recommended during pregnancy. Most vapes contain nicotine, and nicotine can harm a baby’s developing brain and lungs.
Breastfeeding moms are also advised to avoid e-cigarettes if possible, because harmful chemicals (including nicotine) can reach the baby through breast milk or exposure.

Medical guidance says no. E-cigarettes and other nicotine products are not considered safe during pregnancy.

We can’t call it “safe.” If it happened, don’t panic—make the next step the healthy one: stop now and bring it up at your next prenatal visit.
Official note: Clinicians encourage stopping nicotine exposure as early as possible and seeking support.

Still not a green light. Pregnancy is the time to avoid unnecessary exposures, and “nicotine-free” doesn’t automatically mean risk-free.
Official note: Health agencies advise avoiding e-cigarettes during pregnancy.

Also not recommended if possible. Harmful chemicals (including nicotine) can pass to the baby through breast milk or exposure.
Official note: Public guidance encourages quitting; if quitting isn’t immediate, breastfeeding still has important benefits—work on a quit plan with a clinician.

Reach out for help early. Your OB/midwife (or your baby’s clinician) can recommend safe, proven support options that fit your situation.
Personal take: Most moms aren’t looking for a lecture—they want a plan. Getting support early usually makes everything easier.

Yes. Keep your home and car vape-free. Ask them to vape outside, away from doors/windows, and clean up before holding the baby.
Personal take: A simple rule works best: “No vaping indoors, no vaping in the car—ever.”
What official medical/public health guidance says
Here’s the consistent message across major medical/public health sources:
- CDC: E-cigarettes and other nicotine products are not safe during pregnancy; nicotine can harm fetal brain and lung development.
- Mayo Clinic: Vaping during pregnancy is not safe; nicotine can damage a baby’s developing brain and other organs. Mayo Clinic
- CDC (Breastfeeding): Using tobacco or e-cigarettes while breastfeeding can pass harmful chemicals to the baby through breast milk or exposure; quitting is encouraged, but breastfeeding is still recommended if quitting isn’t immediate.
- MotherToBaby (NIH/NCBI Bookshelf): Because evidence is limited, e-cigarette use is not recommended while breastfeeding, and nicotine can pass into breast milk.
- ACOG: Stopping nicotine exposure at any point in pregnancy benefits both mom and baby, and clinicians should support cessation
Our customer support takes
When moms write us, what we hear underneath the question is usually this: “I’m stressed, I’m trying to do the right thing, and I need a realistic next step.”
So here’s our honest support-style answer:
- If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, the safest choice is not to vape. Full stop.
- If you’re struggling, get help early—your clinician can tailor options to your history and situation (that’s better than guessing based on internet advice).
- If a slip happens, don’t spiral. The most meaningful thing is reducing exposure going forward and building a plan you can stick to.
