Check out this article. It from a local news program in Virginia.

The answer in mg (milligrams) of nicotine exposure would be a big fat '0'mg !
The true answer would probably be expressed as µg (micro-grams equal to 10¬6 (to the power) grams)
Or, ng (nanograms, A unit of mass equal to 0.000 000 001 grams)
both of these quantities would be in PPM (parts per million) as the exhaled vapour would be airborne.
But, I'm not a scientist or chemist, what I do believe is that your family and pets would be more exposed to a harmfull environment if allow them outside in the street-among traffic especialy.

the amount exhaled (assuming you inhaled all the way into your lungs) would be practically negligible. for all intents and purposes, you may as well say 0.
If you have cats, though, I wouldn't breathe too much PG near them as a precaution. It can make cats poorly (though I doubt that there'd be enough in exhaled vape to have an effect). Better safe than sorry on that one.

They'd be less exposed to nicotine in your second hand vape than if they ate any of the following, which also contain nicotine 
Vegetable Nicotine in ng/g g per 1µg nicotine
Cauliflower 16.8 59.5
Eggplant (Aubergine) 100.0 10
Potatoes 7.1 140
Green tomatoes 42.8 23.4
Ripe tomatoes 4.3 233.0
Pureed tomatoes 52.0 19.2
1µg of nicotine is the equivalent of sitting in a vaguely smoke filled room for three hours. However, vaping does not emit smoke. A cigarette contains about 7mg of nicotine, of which 1mg is absorbed. In other words, 100g of eggplant contains 0.01mg of nicotine, and 10kg of eggplant is equivalent to one cigarette. However, absorbtion rates from ingestion are low and nicotine is quickly metabolised, so the effect isn't nearly the same.
Edit: Sorry, but I couldn't get the columns to line up right. I pasted it from the internet. The first column of numbers is the amount of nicotine in ng/g, and the second column of numbers is the amount g per 1 µg nicotine.

I have fashioned a small voodoo doll and am sticking pins in it while I think of you.
I am twisting the pins in your lower back and inserting others - elsewhere...
This thread is being moved to the dog lover/cat hater thread. Oh, nevermind. I just remembered I'm not a moderator. I have to admit, I'm a dog person also. Cats make me sneeze and they get hair everywhere, even on countertops.
It won't be a mystery for long...
Now repeat after me, "Cats are very cool and I'm sorry that I was rude." Then I'll remove the pins.
oh like it's a big mystery....cats are evil.
the most evilest creature in the universe, right above Llamas and beady-eyed Koalas.
oh..and to stay on topic...ummm, vape is good. low nic when you exhale.

Why do cats look at you like they are superior beings x 10 , but will happily follow the red dot from a laser pen out into a busy road ?
