Yeah I get that. Although cigarettes give you a nicotine hit, I don't know if that is transferred in second hand smoke. While obviously different affects, and the concerns are valid, I personally don't see it as any more or less harmful than standing beside someone smoking cigs. But again, this is all part of the reason to legalize, so we can study and know these things and adjust accordingly. Until that happens, I would agree that it should probably be banned in public spaces, however, I would like if it was allowed in designated smoking areas.
For vaping, if people can blow cherry-scented vapour inside with tobacco, should be no different for weed. Personally I don't think vaping inside should be allowed the way it is. Whether there are ill effects from it or not, you're putting stuff into the air that other people don't want to breathe and that should be respected. You can't tell me that you get every bit of the cig buzz and none of the chemicals are dispersed into the air when you exhale, just like you can't tell me that you absorb all the THC you inhale and none of it escapes into the air.
The bottom line is smoking is unhealthy regardless of what your using. And it should really all be kept out of public spaces because you're sharing it with everyone else.
