Bah. There was a thread about a year back similar to this... more on the topic of "what do we call it". Fog, Condensate, Mist, Vapor, anything but Smoke.
Mostly water vapor is close. Mix of water vapor and e-juice, closer.
I've seen people claim that there is no nicotine in the exhaled vapor because their bodies absorb it all. Complete crap. It simply can't work that way.
Now, when I said it's an expediency, I didn't mean it's an excuse to exaggerate. Sometimes you just get tired of explaining it... studies from the mid 1900's on PG fog reducing infections in hospitals, better than cigs, no combustion, common ingredients found in Fog Machines on stage, common food and cosmetic ingredients, etc.
As to harm? 2nd hand vape? Anybody's guess. Guesses are that it's A) much safer than smoke...fireplaces included, or exhaust from engines, or charcoal grills. Hell, even gas stoves emit stuff. Then there's B) dilution and quick settling. Who knows though. I'd rather be around vapers than smokers though, even if I tolerate both. I smoked for around 30 years, so I try not to be a jerk about it.
As to banning vaping outside, or in your own car.... complete B.S. and I hope they challenge the constitutionality of that one.
