You are not going to second hand transfer nicotine with a PV like you will with a cigarette.
With an analog, 3/4 of the nicotine goes off the lit end.
Nicotine absorption in the lungs is near 100%.
But, when in Rome...

A story...up at the cottage there's an elderly lady with terrible health issues from analogs. She smokes in her house but refuses to allow me to vape in her home. The funny thing is when I saw her 2 weeks ago she and her hubby said I looked great/ 10 yrs younger LOL. It's her property and I have no problem respecting her wishes. She's a retired RN and her daughter is an RN. They are both very anti- vaping

I used to ride to the gym with a neighbor- very nice, intelligent woman except when the subject of food and health came up. Then we were on the last train to crazytown. She told me they stopped taking her son to a doctor because her husband the electrician knew more than doctors because he wasn't encumbered by a medical school education -words to that effect. I guess google is the new med school. I wanted to jump out of the moving car.

No clue -- she just says it is too new and not much is known, and that she had to sit through me smoking around her when she was little and now that she is grown up she doesn't have to.
My guess is, her decision making is circumstantial in nature; She associates it with smoking and has made a judgment about it. I have serious doubts that her career choice (and/or experience) has anything to do with it.
What does/doesn't take place in her home is her choice, no doubt. I personally would never even bring it up with her - ever.
I used to want to slit my wrists when folks came in the ER with print-outs from WebMD ....
Even worse than webMD is people trying to get "free medical advice" my brother is an eye surgeon and he gets people asking about all sorts of things NOT related to eyes- its got to be so annoyin. No, I don't want to check out your boil, I'm trying to shop for groceries at the moment...
Well, I love my Mom's point of view. She would never allow anyone to smoke in her house, and I respect that, always went outside. Now that I am vaping, she has no problem with it. She even enjoys the smell, and tries to figure what flavor it is for the day.
She's my biggest supporter in my switch to a PV from analogs.

I had a lady ask me about her annual female exam results while I was shopping in the commissary in Italy ...... produce section ..... no lie!!!
There is more nicotine in tomatos than what ever trace amount would be exhaled in vaper.
A number of hospitals are now providing PV's to smokers who must spend time in their hospitals instead of nicotine patches. My doctor told me that from his research and analysis, there is no harm to others from exhaled vapor. I'll go with the doctor over an RN.
Thanks for this discussion because I've been wondering about nicotine in exhaled vapor and if it would affect anyone around me, or if I should be vaping outdoors like I did with the analogs. Right on time for winter, I can come inside out of the cold!
Some study I just heard, was it the FDA? It was on vaporcast....said that vapor from eliquid contained nicotine. If your friend has palpitations from caffeine, then nicotine will stimulate her too. I'll try to figure out where this study came from...
Im thinking your best bet is to ask her why? but even if her response doesnt make sense you got to respect wishes...
I have met nurses that believe nicotine causes cancer and heart disease. It makes me wonder if they are actually taught that in nursing school. Either way, the amount of misinformation and ignorance is truly astounding.
Well I will respect there wishes.
But I have met folks, That what ever the latest health scare sound bite they hear, They have it.
And I am not about to try confusing them with the facts after they have there minds made up.

Two separate issues:
Her house, her rules. I don't allow praying in my house, ya know? Interferes with my cell phone reception.
Second thing- her reasons for it. Well...do you have the kind of relationship where you let her get away with talking BS? Or the kind of relationship where you call each other on it when you hear it?
If you'd let her spew BS on some other topic, no reason to call her on this, particularly.
But personally- if you don't vape in her house and she still spouts nonsense on vaping, I'd talk to her about it.
