Second Hand Vapour

[maccafan]

Flavorart commissioned a study of second hand vapour in collaboration with Utah Vapers and found nothing to worry of note:

The prohibitionists are still hard at it trying to invent dangers present in what they are calling passive vaping:

The study will continue with the co-operation of the cardiologist who gave the long interview to Vape Team and presented his findings:

Cooperation with Dr. Farsalinos

We are pleased to announce that we have undertaken a cooperation with Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos, Cardiologist at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens.

Dr. Farsalinos is well known for his studies on the effects of the electronic cigarette on the heart, through this new cooperation, new clinical study protocols have been designed, that will start very soon .

Following the declaration of Dr. Konstantinos:

“I am pleased to announce the beginning of cooperation with FlavourArt Srl in the field of medical research on electronic cigarettes. The cooperation mainly involves funding of independent clinical research performed by our research group. Our goal is to provide to the public and to the scientific community more clinical data on the safety of electronic cigarettes. All our efforts will be concentrated on performing research in a way that will address all questions that are currently unanswered concerning the effects of electronic cigarettes on the human organism.”

Ciao! FA Team

I haven't read that article on "Does e-cigarette consumption cause passive vaping?", but the summary on this page (tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/) makes it sound generally positive, with the author conclusing from it that "There does not appear to be any major concern at this point regarding any dangers of exposure to "passive vaping.""

Thank you for giving the information.

The Clearstream research data and findings are to be presented at Annual Meeting of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) Europe in September..

All I can say on passive vaping being a life long non smoker myself is that a friend of mine smoked an e-cig while sat next to me in my office the other day - I nearly had to ask him to stop as I was definitely getting some sort of reaction myself - may have been psychological I suppose!

A simple test, get 2 people one that smokes and one that vapes.

Tell them to each take a good long inhale on their "devices" and to blow out the smoke/vapor through a tissue.

Look at the tissues after and compare.

i'm suspending your account as you do not have vendor status and have a link in your sig to your website. Please read the TOS

[Chrissie]

Just to let everyone know. Yangster did request vendor status, but due to the fact that he only sold e-cigs as a side line on his website & made false claims about each carto lasting the equivalent of 40 cigs, I refused his request. So I'm now gobsmacked at his post

Yes I go along with that DD or ask them to blow both into the facility of a non smoker and let them decide which is better.

My wife has never smoked, and for the last 27 years has nagged me about the smell… now I’m vaping she wants to start, she loves the smell’s in fact I think she can actually smell them more than I can taste them.

Thanks Macca. I've bookmarked it to read at a later date on a pc as my phone doesn't support PDF. I'm particularly interested in whether there is any evidence that there is significant nicotine exhaled when vaping as nicotine may be detrimental to someone with thyroid eye disease.
