Second hand vape?

[Seahawks]

Hope this question doesn't sound too stupid but does the vapor you exhale contain enough nicotine to effect others around you? I feel stupid even asking this question....

I wouldn't call this question stupid at all. I don't know about nicotine content in second hand vapor but there have been studies about toxins in second hand vapor. The latest showed no significant carcinogens in the exhaled vapor. Maybe this link will help settle your mind a bit.

Not exactly what you're asking but keep in mind some people just won't want you vaping around them just because it looks like you're smoking...

Hi Seahawks and welcome to ECF. That doesn't sound stupid at all Seahawks. Please feel free to ask any questions no one here should give you a hard time. I would check out the Fact & Science section of the CASAA website. This should answer a lot of your questions.

Secondhand Electronic Cigarette Vapor is Harmless, New Study Says - Yahoo! News

While probably not toxic, in a very still room the vapor can linger for a few minutes or more and it can bother some people's eyes. Some flavors more than other. I've run into a few people that didn't like it when I chain vaped in close quarters.

No question is stupid...especially not this one. From a study that was done...."Because e-cigarettes vaporize liquid rather than burning tobacco, most of the harmful compounds found in smoke were not present in e-cigarette vapor. Those few compounds that were found were at such minuscule levels that toxicology analysis detected no risk (cancer or non-cancer risk) to public health from environmental e-cigarette vapor."
