2nd hand nicotine from vaping?

[generic mutant]

I believe a few users a few years ago used nicotine home testing kits on their non-smoking / vaping spouses, after vaping high-nic juice normally at home (in close enough proximity and over long enough for it to have an effect if it was going to).

Tests showed negative.

I would like to apologize to chebird for the group. Before I read this post I was happy to be a member, but if a new member (20 posts) is accused of having an agenda for asking a simple question about second hand vapor, I'm not so sure I feel that way anymore. If anyone has an agenda it's those who jump all over someone and have no patience for someone who has questions about a behavior that they are involved in. To wonder about second hand vaper is not a unreasonable thing to question This is just shameful.

You have not been around here long enough to understand that this forum has ANTZ's who join just to cause controversy and then they disappear. I am in no way suggesting that is what the OP is doing. But it does happen enough that those of us who have been here for a few years have seen it many times and you get wary of a "newb" starting a negative thread on a topic that has been discussed thoroughly thousands of times on this forum.

I never hear anyone complaining of second-hand from air fresheners... perfume... cleaning supplies... etc...

We are a people of absolutes, aren't we?

The most compelling point is that if someone were chain vaping 12mg/ml in a room with NO VENTILATION for an hour, and NONE of that vape was absorbed by the user, you would get 12mg of nicotine released into a room. A 10ft by 10ft by 10ft room (which is pretty small) is 1000 cubic feet. This is 28316.8 liters 12mg/283168 liters. This equates to .4 micrograms per liter.

A person exposed to 1 microgram/ liter of nicotine in the air air would need to sit the environment for 3 hours to absorb 1 microgram of nicotine. That same person would need to sitting in a room of .4 micrograms per liter would need to sit in the room for 75 hours.

And this is assuming NONE gets absorbed by the vaper and a very small room (10x10x10).

By comparison. .4 micrograms of nicotine is the same amount of nicotine that is in approximately 59 grams of potato or 2 ounces.

First of all, thank you all for posting to this thread. I read every single post thru page 4, and I just couldnt wait any more to respond. I really didnt think this would become as spirited as it has. And Im laughing to myself as I realize how ironic it is, that its the same closed-minded responses from a few members here, (who dont know me or my friend) that is at the heart of the issue, people who are mis-informed, under-informed (myself) and those who just dont care to know, and would rather ..... about people e-vaping, when really they dont know anything about anything. Thank you Captainshay for helping me clarify myself, and for those who realized Im trying to gather info. to bring back to those groupmembers so they can make informed decisions. Let me be clear, I am pro vaping all the way, Im a vaper myself for gods sakes! And Im greatful for those who posted the study links, that I will print for my smoker friend, who knows mabey I can convert him one of these days! Oh and I will let you know what decision comes to be out of all this. Thanks you ECF!
