Is it bad to sit next to someone who just used a vape?

My grandma is currently undergoing radiation therapy for cancer, and I’m wondering—is it actually unsafe to sit right next to someone who just finished a session?

Sorry if this sounds like a weird question, but I haven't been able to find any solid info online about this. 🤷

Please, I'm just looking for serious answers here.

Thanks

It isn't harmful. Your grandmother isn't "radiating." The radiation was targeted specifically at the diseased tissue...

Is it actually possible to target just one specific part of the body with radiation? I always assumed it hit everything at once—which is why people lose their hair—and that the radiation just had to pass right through you to get out.

Radiation only hits one specific area of the body. It doesn't affect everything at once, and hair loss isn't caused by radiation—it comes from chemotherapy

If it were dangerous, the doctors would have told you. Just sit with her—you can even give her a hug. 🙂

Thanks, everyone! 👍
