Some studies stipulate that there is a low concentration of nicotine remaining in the secondary vapor. Is it enough to cause harm or to be considered as secondary intake of nicotine is still to be proven

I guess people will need to think twice before eating tomato's if nicotine is harmful.:facepalm:

As far as i have read, exhaled smoke vapor from vaping have very little effect on secondary smokers vapers. But like they said further studies need to be done. As for me personally I tried not to vape when there is someone that does not smoke around, just not to make them feel uncomfortable

Fixed that for you :D

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.

We have a winner! Give that person a cigar! Uhhhhhh... I mean a Provari... :D

Second hand vapor is not harmful. Although keep in mind that most air you breath is polluted in some way or another. Also, if you truly look into second hand smoke studies for cigarettes there really isn't conclusive evidence that it kills people. I truly believe the government goes to great lengths to prove that something is harmful so they can keep increasing the taxes imposed on it. How else are they suppose to line their pockets?

Vaping will suffer the same fate as smoking. The cigarette cash cow is starting to reduce in size. The provincial government of Ontario just made an announcement that they are trying to stop a 509 million dollar revenue leak that is being caused by contraband tobacco(native cigarettes made and sold on the reserve). This announcement confirms to me that they now expect and rely on cigarette taxes. All of us vapors are keeping our money now and they don't like it. It is a matter of time before they make vaping unaffordable just like analogues.

As I see it the main problem with a second-hand vape is a second-hand smell. It can really be annoying. Even for me, even for vaper. Recently I was in a BBQ joint, and at the next to me table some vaper produced extra strong chemical smell of raspberry. I do not like my meat with raspberries. I will not visit this joint again – I prefer air without artificial flavorings.
I vape mostly juice that produce very little if at all of smell. When trying a new flavor at home I always ask my wife about smell and according to her response I either accept or reject a flavoring.

Me too. I always ask my hubby it the vapor smells. Raspberry is the only one he has identified so far and he quite likes the smell of that (though not when we're eating). So I only use that indoors.

Happy vaping :)
