Are Vape pens & hookah pens safe?

Idk much about them, idk the difference. My bf informed me that his SIL came outside & was smoking a pen next to him while he was holding our 3 month old. To my knowledge she’s not a cigarette smoker. I really don’t know what she was smoking but I’m assuming it was vape or hookah. I’m taking it to heart because she’s never liked me for whatever reason, she didn’t congratulate him on having a child even though he’s like a little brother to her & she didn’t talk to him during the entire 9 months. So I really want to know are these sticks dangerous & was she being a smart ass.
