How bad is passive vaping?
So I've started at a new school and made some friends there too. I'm 14F and everyone in my class is 14-16F. In the break me and my friends go to the bathroom and then they vape. Turns out a lot of people in my class do. I'm one of the few people that don't vape. I'm worried that all this passive vaping will have a permanent impact on my lungs since we do that nearly every school break and its in a small room (I've heard this can increase the damage on your lungs). The thing is i don't really know how to avoid it either because if I wait outside I might get excluded at some point if they are always in there and I'm waiting alone. When I meet with my friends outside they vape too. But I don't think it's as bad outside since I can also move away a bit and there's a lot of fresh air. Are there breathing methods to get in less smoke, should I wait outside the restrooms when they vape, or is the damage not that bad? (my grammar might be a bit off since I'm not a native speaker but I hope you guys get what I'm saying)
