Hi there I was put on a genuair inhaler for my COPD a month ago and I'm using an efag to try and stop smoking and I'm having tiny nose bleeds on a daily basis. This has never happened to me before and I can't find anything online regarding this and either the inhaler or efag!! Do I need to see the nurse/doctor?? Really concerned

Hi Winnie

I belong to the Quit smoking community and I have seen posts re this problem with ecigs. Why don't you join there and ask. You should always talk to your doctor if you are worried though!

I've been using an e-cig for quite a while now, and never had a nose bleed. If in doubt, though, I think it's best to have a chat with your doctor to make sure it's nothing that need cause you worry or distress. Take care, and well done for coming off the cigs :) x

Do speak to your doc, a pharmacist or give the BLF a call

Hi Winnietyson

There is nothing ine cigs that could cause a bleed, it is only PG&VG&nicotine all of which are harmless, nicotine is in present in lots of foods we eat and VG Vegetable Glycerine we use in baking and PG is used in air conditioning systems.It has been reported that some people are allergic to PG so go tell your Dr, let him sort it for out.

I am worried that you are vaping yet know nothing about it. Please please join this forum AAEC, you will get all the info and help you need to make sure you are using the correct equipment, some of these e cigs that look like cigs are expensive and not very good. If you need any more info get back to me. I have been vaping for 2 years! Well done for wanting to stop smoking cigs.x
