    Nicotine still has negative health effects, even without tar. It is not harmless. We’ve also had multiple waves of badly manufactured carts with lead contamination, chemicals known to cause lung damage, etc. It harms everyone who vapes. And everyone whose face they blow vape into. But, it at least far less obnoxious than actual cigarettes.

        No matter how good it smells, the second-hand vape makes my nose and throat burn, and makes me cough.

          is someone blowing it directly in your face? vape smoke dissipates pretty quickly

      Nicotine still has negative health effects

      At a similar level to caffeine. Less than Marijuana and much less than alcohol. Essentially harmless.

      We’ve also had multiple waves of badly manufactured carts with lead contamination, chemicals known to cause lung damage, etc.

      Maybe standards regulation is the answer instead of banning? But anyway, it’s a small minority of carts that are poorly made like this.
