A recent paper in the journal Public Health Research & Practice aimed to summarise and review all studies that have examined potential adverse health effects of passive exposure from inhaling e-cigarette vapour.
A systematic review of the health risks from passive exposure to electronic cigarette vapour looked at both the absolute and relative impact of exposure to vapour, as compared to the passive exposure of inhaling ordinary cigarette smoke. The systematic review, which included 16 studies, found that those passively exposed to the vapours of e-cigarette users are exposed to numerous pollutants that are associated with potential adverse health effects. However, this risk is likely to be less than the risk from passive exposure to conventional cigarette smoke.
