Yep. More shite easily picked apart. For a start nicotine is recognised as not being carcinogenic. There is fuck all evidence that there is a third hand risk from smoke let alone vapour. Sigh

Can you actually find the study anywhere? No. You can't yet. It was presented at a conference and has yet to be published.
It's worth noting that the people doing this are sponsored by Pfizer. They also produced (and presented at the same conference)
this one. Which references their funding.
Their test protocol (as stated in the article) was to use some e-cigs in a test room and "smoke" them using a syringe and then do swab tests on the surface of the test box.
If an e-cig is used as directed, i.e. someone sticking in their mouth and inhaling a good % of the nicotine in the vapour is absorbed by the user. Which is a pretty gaping hole if you ask me.
And while yes e-cig vapour will deposit nicotine on surfaces, a) nicotine is NOT a carcinogen (levels of carcingogens in e-cig vapour are TINY and comparable to already approved NRT products like the inhalator for example, which are already deemed safe) b) the gunk that tobacco smoke deposits on everything isn't nicotine it's TAR. (not the type of tar you get on roads),
TAR is an acronym and stands for 'Total Aerosol Residue' and as Mark puts it, there is fuck all evidence that it's harmful. Nicotine is colourless and odourless.
Maybe if you were an actual window licker it might be ....
