But even if the exhaled vapor is perfectly safe, they'll still try to ban them.

  Mainly because I don't want to get addicted to nicotine just by sitting next to a co-worker who uses e-cigs indoors.

    Has there been a study to prove that can happen or are you just assuming?

    What a ridiculous statement. How many people do you know of that became addicted to nicotine via second hand tobacco smoke?

    From the research I've read, that seems unlikely. This study was unable to detect any environmental contamination from nicotine: http://clearstream.flavourart.it/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/CSA_ItaEng.pdf http://clearstream.flavourart.it/site/wp-content/uploads/201... "Among all, the most interesting aspects we observed was that nicotine was not detected in air during the e-smoking session, although liquids used for experiments contained it. On the other hand, 34µg/m^3 of nicotine were found during the smoking session." I remember another study I'm having trouble finding that was able to detect some nicotine in the exhaled vapor using a different method (capturing exhaled vapor in a glass chamber), but at an extremely low concentration. Nothing I've found leads me to believe secondhand nicotine exposure from e-cigarettes is a significant hazard.
