Vaping is too new of a thing for them to be sure about this, keep in mind, at one time, no one thought second smoke from cigarettes was anything to worry about either.

Yes, I'll do that, standby!! Cars benefit society, one worker getting to office or factory, or mill, or plant at a time.

Modern cars emit very little CO. Your comparison is less-than-worthless. Dismissed.

Those days are almost over, and everyone will benefit- even the filthiest.

I don't. cars aren't odorous, and emit almost nothing but CO2 and H2O. You're stuck 40 years ago. Plus, people don't drive inside buildings, on sidewalks etc.

The car/tobacco comparison has been the stuff of desperate fools for decades.

It is laced with nicotine, a toxin. Haven't you ever noticed how "dead" smokers look? Wrinkled sallow skin, dark, baggy eyes, etc. Nicotine does that to you, and I require others NOT to assault me with it.

My experience as well.

Thats not the nicotine causing those problems, its the tar and umpteen other toxins that are in cigarette tobacco. There are lists of toxic ingredients in cigarettes online, like this one...


  • Acetone – found in nail polish remover
  • Acetic Acid – an ingredient in hair dye
  • Ammonia – a common household cleaner
  • Arsenic – used in rat poison
  • Benzene – found in rubber cement
  • Butane – used in lighter fluid
  • Cadmium – active component in battery acid
  • Carbon Monoxide – released in car exhaust fumes
  • Formaldehyde – embalming fluid
  • Hexamine – found in barbecue lighter fluid
  • Lead – used in batteries
  • Naphthalene – an ingredient in mothballs
  • Methanol – a main component in rocket fuel
  • Nicotine – used as insecticide
  • Tar – material for paving roads
  • Toluene - used to manufacture paint
