you are sharing the same air with them and everything they are breathing out. You are also mingling your dead skin cells with theirs in the form of dust and all sorts of other things which are unseen.

I think most people who vape respect the wishes of others not to have to breathe in what we breathe in, but this push to regulate vaping and its products is simply a response from a frightened tobacco industry to shut down a healthier alternative to their product and profit.

I'd like to see these "studies" saying that vapor contains formaldehyde and metal particles. I'm skeptical of that because vapor is made of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol (both FDA regulated substances) and optionally nicotine. Perhaps you're talking about tobacco products?
