I vape nicotine. That's not true in the slightest, unless you're using some wacky definition of 'particle'.

I agree that the restrictions around where one vapes might need to be a little less lax when compared to cigarettes, but to claim that it doesn't 'generate particles' is disingenuous.

Probably less PM2.5 rating

Well there's no solids. No tar, ashes etc.

Droplets yes but they are just oils. Similar to when you're frying in the kitchen. Probably a lot less than that in fact, considering the amount that goes into a vape pen.

I'd still rather not be breathing someone else's used strawberry flavor though, regardless of health effects or lack thereof.
