I dunno, you can get contact from any other second hand inhalation except vapor? Sounds a little too convenient not to mention completely counterintuitive.
Why do you insist on ignoring science without any science to back up what your intuition tells you to believe?

"During the
ecig session we found ... No toluene, xylene, CO, NOx, nicotine..."
If you have a study showing massive amounts of nicotine (I'm sure you can find some from the ANTZ that show some nicotine but it is minor) post it. We're all ears.
As far as contact from "other second hand inhalation", you were lied to and you insist on believing it.

"Conclusions:
Our results indicate no association
between childhood exposure to ETS and lung cancer risk.
We did find weak evidence of a doseresponse relationship
between risk of lung cancer and exposure to spousal and
workplace ETS. There was no detectable risk after cessation
of exposure."
That is from the study that has been held up to demonize cigarettes as killing people who don't smoke, the one all other studies were based off. It says nothing close to what has been claimed. The lie was repeated until the lie became accepted as the truth.
The only danger is if the people exposed to the second hand smoke or vapor have an existing health issue that makes the smoke or vapor an issue. The smoke or vapor is not creating the issue.
Definitely doesnt doom you, but, its a fact scientifically speaking that children emulate the behaviour of the adults around them. Between the ages of around 3 to 10 we are mimicking behavior of those around us and during those years we're developing neural connections and modes of thought that will be set for life and while you can choose to deny any impulse you want, those impulses will be with you for the rest of your life on some level. Thats a behavioral science fact, Im not just making it up, its why psychologists have jobs lol
As far as your friend though, they probably were so traumatized growing up in an alcoholic household it pushed them in the complete opposite direction. That can work either way though. I grew up in a super conservative fundamentalist christian household, went to church 5 or 6 times a week. Im an athiest and you couldnt get me into a church now. But my upbringing definitely played and plays a huge part in making me the individual I am. Just not in the way my folks may have wanted, lol so anyway, I dont think you can argue that point really. Life experience alone shows that children grow up to be alot like thier guardians in more ways than not even if theyre struggling to not emulate them.
The problem is those scientists tend to ignore the self medication aspect of smoking and the fact that a lot of the things that one would self medicate for tend to run in families.
I started smoking as a habit around age 14. My first series of gastro testing happened at age 14. Coincidence?
This most recent quit was inspired by what I now know was a flare of Ulcerative Colitis. I switched and got worse which got me to cut out nicotine. I got worse and went to the Dr. I stayed off nicotine in case it was cancer or Crohn's. I flared the whole time I was going
through testing. I was diagnosed with Crohn's and stayed off nicotine while going on pills, I still flared. My diagnosis was changed to Ulcerative Colitis, I added nicotine back in and increased it above what it was when I first switched, I got better. I've had some flares since but nothing like when I was at low/no nicotine.
I suspect the reason all my previous quit attempts have failed is because my body knew nicotine was my medicine. It is likely I've had this since I was a baby.
Being raised in a super conservative fundamentalist Christian household and going to church 5-6 times a week would explain why you're willing to believe the claims about second hand smoke in spite of their own study coming to the opposite conclusion
