A quick search shows the truth is that the results are mixed at this time. Did you not know that the Surgeon General has issued a caution because the chemicals used in vaping are considered toxins and the vapor emitted is not 100% water?
When? Which liquids? What are their ingredients? Where were they manufactured? How were they manufactured? These questions never seem to get answered when vaping is criticized. It's enough to make me wonder if vape critics understand anything about what they're criticizing.
So who wins? Your nicotine addiction or my asthma attacks?
While I appreciate your appeal to emotion, nobody lately has suggested banning vaping because of potential respiratory issues which could ensue from second hand vapor. On the contrary (as is the subject of this thread), lately the issue has been potential dangers to vapers themselves.
As with smoking, the solution could be nothing more complex than segregating vapers from non-vapers.
As a broader trend, it sounds as though your problem is restricted to people who come from environments similar to your own. Transposing your experience in a smoke-filled environment in the distant past to modern day environments with brief puffs of vapor with an eye on stamping out vapor simply because it produces an irritation in you is, frankly, unreasonable.
In other words, as above, sit someplace else.
And my unanswered question remains. Given how new vaping is, and that we're bound to uncover more as time goes on ... If there is a health effect, do you want to know? To me it sounds like you don't want to know.
That question was addressed implicitly in my other remarks.
But as you seem to require an explicit answer, I shall reiterate that the data relating to potential harm resulting from vaping is skewed, misrepresented, incomplete or else completely phony. Meanwhile, credible studies have shown the relative neutral effect vaping has on users.
In case I'm not being clear enough here, so far the opposition has provided me with virtually no reason whatsoever to consider their viewpoint. If they ever produce data worth considering, I shall consider it.
And then I shall weigh it against the risks inherent to smoking. Because inherently, that is the dichotomy that I face. Is vaping more dangerous than smoking? All evidence I have indicates that vaping is less risky than smoking. And all the fiction provided by the opposition doesn't undermine that basic truth.
If newer (and
legitimate) data arises which will show other effects, I will review it. But so far, the opposition is grasping at straws and hypochondria to justify inane, unnecessary bans. I will not cooperate, sorry.[/QUOTE]
