Do smoking bans apply to e-cigarettes?

341. You are demonstrating your ignorance of the difference between measuring

the chemicals that are off-gassed into the air and the health effects on the humans vaping the e-cigs. Those are two separate issues.

In a simple study of the output, you would be measuring just the output --you wouldn't have to look at the same time at the long term outcome on the health of the people doing the vaping. So any such study could easily have been completed by now if any of the manufacturers were so inclined.

The long term study on health would be needed to demonstrate the effects on the vapers themselves; but short term studies showing what particular chemicals (and in what amounts) were off-gassed or leaked into the air would show if there was any risk to second or third hand users.

If there was no risk to second or third hand users, then there wouldn't be a need to ban them in public or work spaces.
