The basic fact that we didn't know the dangers of second hand smoke for years and years and years would seem to suggest we don't take a step back just because we can't smell it or some other non-sense. It's up to the vaping side to prove it this time around.
Vape away, but it better not be around me.

Study commissioned by the health departmenteven if it is commissioned by the government does not mean you'll hear about it being ok. Look at the Schafer report Nixon commissioned.

By reviewing over 9,000 observations about the chemistry of the vapor and the liquid in e-cigarettes, Dr. Burstyn was able to determine that the levels of contaminants e-cigarette users are exposed to are insignificant, far below levels that would pose any health risk. Additionally, there is no health risk to bystanders. Proposals to ban e-cigarettes in places where smoking is banned have been based on concern there is a potential risk to bystanders, but the study shows there is no concern.

Alcohol is one of the leading causes of death yet it is socially acceptable.
