Actually, I was speaking on a second hand term. It's been studied and found that it doesn't harm second hand people. It's like going through some fog IF you actually get hit with it. Usually it almost instantly goes away.
Edit: Also, if you inhale anything that isn't regular air, you're going to have airway resistance. Kind of a stupid term to linger on IMO. I have airway resistance from sucking in helium from a balloon to talk funny. Yet that's socially acceptable.
I honestly think people will just ***** to *****. I know some people who don't even want smoking areas and think smokers should just quit cold turkey. Ok, stop driving your car cold turkey, it kills my lungs when your POS puts out smoke with my windows open (just an example). Oh wait, you can't stop driving your car for whatever reason? Is it an addiction? People who smoke and went to vaping are either trying to quit, or are trying to make their habit more socially acceptable which I deem worthy of applause being a non-smoker myself. I've been around chain smokers all my life, and I try NOT to have friends that smoke for this reason. Yet, being at Quakecon I was around a lot of vapers (e-cig users) this year and I found it a much better experience than standing around a bunch of regular smokers. I also did not mind seeing people doing it in the BYOC, where there is hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, usually mine included.
