Maybe you should try doing some research before making a statement that is inaccurate. There have been several studies that categorically support that vapor is safe to be around. Here is one of them which was independently funded:

BMC Public Health | Abstract | Peering through the mist: systematic review of what the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tells us about health risks

Maybe you should get a sense of humor and stop using Google as a substitute for wisdom?

The study referenced was independently funded by consumers, peer reviewed and conducted at Drexel University in Philadelphia in 2013. Maybe you should try reading it before popping off, again. Add to that the many respected MD's, Phd's and long time anti-smoking advocates such as Dr. Michael Siegel and Bill Godshall who strongly support vaping as an HRT.

I haven't read every study that's been published, and there have been a few, but nothing I've seen shows any "secondhand vape" effects. Matter of fact, I haven't found anything that shows harmful "first hand" vape effects either. I'm sure there are researchers hired by Big Tobacco looking into it. Keep on Vaping.

cant be as damageable as regular cigarettes. But, i'm sure that inhaling anything else than ''fresh air'' (cough# polluted air#cough) is in some point ''damageable'' to the lungs. There must be some sort of chronic inflammation of the alveoli when chronicly exposed to an irritant. The question is if this ''inflammation'' or changes in the cell itself leads to cancer or chronic inflammatory disease of the lung.

Laws banning smoking in public places and work places were justified by studies that second hand smoke probably causes illness in others. Studies that have been done so far on vaping find levels of potentially harmful substances to be so low that they are unlikely to have that effect. My view is the mean spirited attacks on vaping are to pave the way to impose taxes to replace lost tobacco taxes. Governments got greedy and overtaxed tobacco and are addicted to that money. Vaping technology is disrupting the tobacco industry the way PCs and the internet disrupted telephones, publishing, retailing, TV, etc. etc.

I think the main thing that worries most people with cigarettes is second hand smoke.
I don't remember hearing anything about second hand nicotine being a problem..

The smoke is what was causing harm to people..

If people were smoking paper bags rather than cigarettes,that second hand smoke would be messing people up as well..
we can turn the hot water up in the shower and steam the room up and relax and hang out as long as we can handle being in there..
But if a building burns down,people die from the smoke a lot of times before the fire ever reaches them..
it can even kill them months after the fire..

Steam just kinds opens ya up more where smoke just kind a closes ya up..

just my opinion and not based on any scientific studies other than taken a lot of hot showers and steams at the health club and doing fire restoration for a few years when i was younger:p

over 90% of the population tests positive for nicotine.
its in a lot of vegetables. one would have to be in sealed
10x10 room with a heavy vapor for 8 hours before any measurable
rise in nicotine level. you would still get more nicotine from eating
2 ounces of potatoes.
so to answer your question, we have absolutely no idea.
right guys?
:D

speaking of nicotine in food..
Tomatoes are one of them..
Here is something cool..
Tomato worms eat tomatoes for the nicotine in them..I mean they eat them to eat also ,but if you look at a tomato worm you see they have a bunch of holes that run down their back side one both sides of them..

When something comes and tries to eat them,they blast the predator with a big shot of nicotine out of those holes..
Just thought that was pretty cool..:D

Dude you are so right. We live in a culture of mean-spirited disapproval, combine that with government addiction to spending our money and vapers are right in the cross hairs.
