What really, really irritates me about vapers is their arrogant understanding that it is alright for them to vape anywhere. The vapors still disperse in the air much like second-hand smoke, and can be inhaled by others in the area who are not vaping.
Also, I find it unfortunate that people only will change behavior when an institute (in this case, the CDC), informs the public to stop. Where did common sense go? You're breathing in vapors that have unknown ingredients. Ugh..I could go on, but what's the point.

I don't think it's just their arrogance that it's okay to vape anywhere. It's that they don't really care. Should they?
People do many things that are bad for themselves and others. Just imagine the amount of terrible toxins that our 4Runners give off without care to those poor Prius drivers who care so much about there health and environment. We're all just terrible people.

More bad news:
Users of Mint, Menthol E-Cigs Exposed to Unacceptably High Levels of Carcinogen
By Amy Orciari Herman
Edited by David G. Fairchild, MD, MPH
People who vape mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes are exposed to potentially dangerous levels of the carcinogenic compound pulegone, according to a JAMA Internal Medicine study.
Pulegone, derived from the essential oils of mint plants, has been shown to cause tumors in rodents. Synthetic pulegone was banned as a food additive in 2018, and its levels are limited in the flavorings for traditional cigarettes.
In the new study, researchers found that levels of pulegone in five mint or menthol e-cigarette products and one mint smokeless tobacco product were higher than those in combustible cigarettes. They were also higher than what the FDA deems as unacceptable for synthetic pulegone in food.
The authors conclude, "Our findings appear to establish health risks associated with pulegone intake and concerns that the FDA should address before suggesting mint- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products as alternatives for people who use combustible tobacco products."
Separately, N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Sunday that he would take immediate steps to ban sales of flavored e-cigarettes (other than tobacco and menthol) across the state. And on Monday, the CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to help deal with the current outbreak of vaping-related lung illness.

Yes they should care. I doubt you'd like to walk through someone continually hosing themselves in a cloud of perfume every minute. Well, I don't care to walk through your cloud of Mango Berry Blast olfactory assassination either.

Smoked for 18 years, switched to vaping for about 5 years. Now I use nicotine pouches and everyone around me appreciates the change. No more blowing clouds in everyones space. Game changer

Nicotine isn’t the “dangerous” part, other than the fact that it’s highly addictive.
Likely similar to caffeine (also highly addictive) in terms of negative health consequences.
It is the carcinogens from burning tobacco and chemical additives that causes most of the serious diseases and death.
