'New study proves there is no second-hand damage from vaping'

New study proves there is no second-hand vaping: e-cigarette aerosol contains less volatile compounds than normal exhaled breath

I don't know how reputable these scientists are but it's a bit of good news if true, guarantee The Daily Fail and other newspapers won't post this study

Thoughts?

Probably why they are excluded from the smoking in cars with kids ban that's imminent

Well since it's on ECR and reviewed by Dr Farsalinos, I'm inclined to say it should be taken pretty much at face value, It certainly correlates with the 95% less harmful figure quoted in the PHE report and is another nail in the coffins of the "We don't know what's in them" and "Secondhand Vape" arguments...

Looks promising. I'm very tempted to email this to my father in law (who was a smoker for 40 years) who claims second hand vapour does 'something horrible' to his chest but unfortunately there's no changing some peoples opinions.

Yup, not too uncommon I think. The landlady of my old local (smoker) used to say a similar thing, that the ecig vapour made her feel sick (so she banned it inside the pub). I'm convinced it's psychosomatic. The funny thing is I've never had that kind of reaction from a non-smoker, but I have from hardened smokers several times.

I once had a chap in a pub come up to me and say "I'm leaving - I want you to know that we're inhaling 10% of what you are". Resisting the urge to say "from which orifice did you pull that bullshit statistic? If you're worried about this, you'd better hold your breath as cars pass you on the walk home", I politely made some points and offered to take it outside if he was still uncomfortable. I never went back to the pub anyway, it has a very "local people", conservative anti-fun vibe in general, but the ale is excellent.

That article is a great asset to the pro-ecig movement, and with bad press vaping's had in Spain it's great to see a Spanish group finding hard evidence in favor of ecigs.
