The problem is, you have to allow people the freedom to make choices, whether they are smart or poor choices, that isn't up to us to decide for other people. E-cigarettes give off water vapor, and there are no second-hand effects, so no, they should not be banned from public places or from any place.

Also, you're not going to die from breathing in a tiny amount of second-hand smoke once every six months at a bar. Smoking shouldn't be banned from bars, there should merely be certain bars that allow it, and certain bars that don't, based on the decision of the business owner.

You cannot protect people from their own stupidity, nor should you. Just as you cannot tell someone how they ought to run their business.


Carcinogens are not about receiving x amount of dosage over time. All it can take is one carcinogen to cause a cancer. It's more like a constant gamble than anything.

Short answer, the less carcinogens in the air, the better. Exposure time has nothing to do with it.
