New paper released on 2nd hand "vaping"...

Allah_

"Background: Electronic cigarettes (e-CIG) have been marketed as a safer alternative habit to tobacco smoking. We have developed a group of research protocols to evaluate the effects of e-CIG on human health, called ClearStream. No studies have adequately evaluated the effects of e-CIG use on the release of chemicals to the environment. The purpose of this study was to identify and quantify the chemicals released on a closed environment from the use of e-CIG (ClearStream-AIR)."

Anyway it turns out that 2nd hand vapour is harmless (could have guessed that anyway but it's good to have a scientific stamp of approval!)

Have a read of it here:

Look what happened to the membrane / filter during the smoking session! I love seeing stuff like this. Helps get rid of the urge to smoke tobaccy.

Always good and reassuring to see these kind of results, just hope the powers that be, take notice of them.
