Many say that vaping is harmless. No wonder, therefore, that the same people see no harm in secondhand or thirdhand vaping. How could vaping damage cancer patients, asthmatics, COPD patients, and others?

The American Cancer Society says that vaping does damage to vapers, third parties at the scene, and vapers who come into contact with them hours after vaping.
How is that possible?
The particles from vaping attach to the vaper’s hair, skin, clothing, and furniture. Later, as cancer patients, asthmatics, COPD patients and others associate with vapers, they unwittingly and without their consent inhale harmful chemicals and are damaged to the extent that their conditions deteriorate, and even lessens the effect of subsequent chemotherapy and other medical treatments, says UL Research Institute.
They are not alone. The National Library of Medicine agrees. UL.org asks what could be hiding in the vaping cloud? Vape emissions are not just water vapor, as some clearly think. It adds that vaping is not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Rightly, such groundbreaking research has won multiple awards for protecting an otherwise sleeping public for clear and present dangers of vaping.
