Well our beloved government health has batted around the idea of using PG in the air because it makes germs fall to the floor faster.
In fact I think they do use it in places. Ever been to a doctor's office and while your there the air is dry--you feel like constantly drinking?! Well chances are they are pumping it into the air.

Still I wouldn't be vaping in a room with others because you exhaling into the air.

On the other hand when someone else is sick, I vape like crazy!

...?! You're infecting them by being around anyway so what's the difference? lol ;) Seriously though, that's how an immune system is built. There is WAY too much paranoia about germs of late. Hygiene = yes. Going ape#$*& with the Lysol spray? = helllll NO! At this pace, it won't be long until were a race of incapacitated weaklings. So try not to worry so much about such a trivial sniffle.

In theory, yes the vapor you exhale probably does carry your germs farther than when you aren't blowing out vapor -yet those droplets won't go far before falling/disapating. I think you will be fine if you remain at least 3 feet (a standard for droplet precautions) from others when you vape and of course not blow your vapor directly at someone. The main thing is to keep your hands washed at all times -I believe you would infect another from germs transfered from your hands easier than from your vapor. Very considerate of you to worry about infecting those around you and a legitamate concern. :)

OK, a little different direction here...I had wondered if vaping could actually help when you're sick? I mean like when you're all stuffed up, does it help to vape menthol? And maybe the PG could help dry you up? Allergies are starting to kick my .... right now and I"m not seeing much of a change but was curious about its effects with stuff like that.
