yeah, both are bad

So vaping should continue to be banned everywhere that smoking is banned. Most people do not consent to breathing other peoples second-hand drugs.

Did you read the article?

> The review concluded there was "overwhelming evidence" they were far safer than smoking and "of negligible risk to bystanders"

And isn't this just a strawman? Are people proposing indoor vaping laws?

Proposing? They're all over the place. Vaping was quite quickly lumped in with smoking in my area. None indoors or within 10 feet of the doors etc.

is it even possible to get a perceptible amount of nicotine through second hand smoke? isn't it mostly water vapor and annoying smells?

Lung damage too, according to this research. How does anyone even think it's OK to do that to other people?

You do a lot more lung damage by driving by them in car.

I'm not a vaper, never have been never will but I'd rather deal with the faint smell of strawberry than cigarette smoke any day.
