According to French researchers, the lifetime of electronic cigarette vapor is roughly 11 seconds and electronic cigarettes represent no real risk of passive or secondhand vaping. This strikes a major blow against public health advocates claiming that electronic cigarettes absolutely must have a secondhand effect simply because you can see the vapor when they’re used. In short, no they don’t.

This is not a small difference from cigarette smoke which is known to take about 19-20 minutes to disappear. Essentially, the vapor is gone and dispersed to such a degree that bystanders are at no real risk of accidental vaping.

One quite interesting detail about the study is one of the individuals behind it. Professor Luke Clancy angered French vapors when he claimed that e-cigs would offer youth a gateway to smoking. Though he hasn’t changed that tune, this means that if the study had the opportunity to make electronic cigarettes look bad, it probably would have.

In addition, the study found that 26% of total vapor could accumulate in airways and about 14% can accumulate in an e-cig user’s cells. This is comparable to the effects of cigarette smoke. What that means (most likely) is that e-cigs have the capacity to deliver a meaningful amount of nicotine without all the additional constituents of conventional cigarettes.

This isn’t just a small hit against the passive vaping argument. It pretty much shoots passive vaping solidly into misinformation and myth territory. Unfortunately, the study being in French means we might need to wait a little bit before we can get the complete details, but the essentials we have. Vaping is not a practice that needs to be prohibited, banned, or restricted on the account of non-vapers.

Vape freely, friends!
