Smoking while using concentrator

With my unit set o 3ml what is the danger of having a fire. Oxygen does not burn

  1. I ment to say smoking while using my unit

    1. I don’t smoke anymore but I see people all the time on oxygen, smoking. That said, a woman in my apartment building smoked with oxygen and blew up her whole apartment and died so it can happen. She was on bottled oxygen though and not on a concentrator. You can find smoking cessation products and group therapy through your doctor usually. Good luck.

      1. While you are free to make your own choices, smoking while using oxygen at any level is extremely dangerous for you and anyone around you. If you must smoke, you should consider removing your oxygen for that time, or pursue an alternative. Take good care of yourself, okay? -Melissa, team member

        1. I no was told ABSOLUTELY no smoking, open flame , even cooking in the stove with O2. Why take a chance?
