How do we know vapor exhaled isn't harmful to others?

[Astatine]

Hello,

We all seem to feel that vaping is better than smoking. And we know that a lot of the harmful substances present in smoke are not in vapor. As for what is present in there (derivatives of additives, levels of nicotine exhaled, partial decomposition of VG or PG etc...) do we know? How safe is second hand vaping?

Tons of threads regarding this particularly in the health & safety section.

Here's one

I have about as much concern about second hand vapor as I do with first hand fog from a fog machine.

I hope it is harmless, or close to it. But I have to say that I haven't found much on the subject. Most info is about comparison with smoke

I will go through the health section as suggested. I am sure I missed tons of info available.

No one has found anything in the large enough quantities in the juice we use for vaping to do any harm. Not even close to it. Second hand vapor is diluted when it mixes with air as you exhale. By hundreds of times if close and at least thousands of times in a normal room. So if it doesn't have any health consequences for vapors it seems reasonable that second vapor is not going to do any harm.
