these were very informative, I think the UK will take the lead in educating the mass.

not to be a party pooper, but doesn't it stand to reason that nic is exhaled along with vapor? What happens to the exhaled nic and the vapor for that matter?

"These days the baddies are the ones smoking the fags. So I almost feel these fake cigarettes have got to be smoked in a smoking area."

Therein is the essential misunderstanding, the essential problem. Looks like a duck, walks like a duck: duck. Looks like a cigarette, produces "smoke" like a cigarette: cigarette.

being used as an example of nicotine absorbtion and exhalation, that pic at bottom of the thread bothers me. All it shows me is 2 stained spots. I could dump a bottle of clear ejuice on that and and I wouldn't be able to say "See? It's clear, no nicotine!". It's a great example of particulate build-up and the damages associated with it, but for nicotine exhaled? Pretty pictures aren't data.

Next up, I'm pretty sure I recently stumbled on a site where someone tested exhaled vapours compared to tobacco and found that most/all nicotine is absorbed. I'll try tracking it down, no promises though.

well, this isn't it but http://www.healthnz.co.nz/RuyanCartridgeReport30-Oct-08.pdf
Section 5 (page 21), it's only one brand but it should still apply.

I read somewhere that said all nic was absorbed and believe it to be true. True dat!

The question remains whether all of it is absorbed (unlikely in my opinion) or some of it never makes it to the vapor.
