I have been a smoker, I have not been a smoker, so I have heen around both smokers and nonsmokers.
Your being ridiculous if your claiming your wife got dizzy from others smoking an electronic cigarette, it is about a hundred times more likely she stood too fast after eating, when the blood rushes to your digestive tract, and so got a moment of lightheadedness.
I believe your just one of the types to complain about anything someone else does that you dont like, and are attempting to make a mountain out of a mole hill over nothing.
You didnt seem to mind the asbestos you were putting in the air every time you hit the brakes in your car, which is hundreds of times more dangerous than smoking any amount of cigarettes.
So just remeber next time you wanna get all preachy about a non issue, your driving alone has caused more asbestosis related deaths than cigarettes, so stop driving your car, or stop complaining until you do, as your activities are way worse for more people than every e cig out there combined, though I am sure you already know tha. Like most humans though, your activities are just fine, it is everyone elses that are the problem.
I still gave you a star and flag, as it was worth knowing, I just find your position on the subject to be hypocritical at least.
Non-asbestos brake pads were introduced in the 1990s. At first they were not suitable for use in heavy-duty vehicles. As a result, asbestos brake pads were not suddenly eliminated, but slowly phased out.
Asbestos has been mined and used commercially in North America since the late 1800s. Its use increased greatly during World War II (3, 4). Since then, asbestos has been used in many industries. For example, the building and construction industries have used it for strengthening cement and plastics as well as for insulation, roofing, fireproofing, and sound absorption. The shipbuilding industry has used asbestos to insulate boilers, steam pipes, and hot water pipes. The automotive industry uses asbestos in vehicle brake shoes and clutch pads. Asbestos has also been used in ceiling and floor tiles; paints, coatings, and adhesives; and plastics. In addition, asbestos has been found in vermiculite-containing garden products and some talc-containing crayons.In the late 1970s, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) banned the use of asbestos in wallboard patching compounds and gas fireplaces because the asbestos fibers in these products could be released into the environment during use. In addition, manufacturers of electric hairdryers voluntarily stopped using asbestos in their products in 1979. In 1989, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned all new uses of asbestos; however, uses developed before 1989 are still allowed. The EPA also established regulations that require school systems to inspect buildings for the presence of damaged asbestos and to eliminate or reduce asbestos exposure to occupants by removing the asbestos or encasing it (2).

It isn't that I am not concerned about other things like that.....It is I shouldn't have to breathe this crap in when I am in a public mall....
Enclosed spaces shouldn't be allowed to have these things being smoked is all I am saying.....Smoke outside where I don't have to breathe this stuff in.....That's it
Propylene glycol is used on the following use sites: air treatment (eating establishments, hospital, commercial, institutional, household, bathroom, transportational facilities); medical premises and equipment, commercial, institutional and industrial premises and equipment; laundry equipment; hard non-porous surface treatments (bathroom facilities); automobiles; air conditioning filters; pet treatment, including cats, dogs, and caged birds; environmental inanimate hard surfaces; garbage containers/storage

I can't watch the video at work, but from the rest of your post I think you are missing the point...
Congrats on quitting regular cigarettes......Don't smoke them around people is all I am saying...
They aren't safe for others....Better for you? Yep.....Better for others? Nope

This above was an actual peer reviewed study..
Nicotine Among all, the most interesting aspects
we observed was that nicotine was not detected in air
during the e-smoking session
CO (Carbon Monoxide) [12] The levels of carbon
monoxide did not show any variation during ecigarette
smoking, remaining below the detection limits
of the tool.
Propylene Glycol Results on propylene glycol
were also unexpected. During e-smoking tests, propylene
glycol was not detected, although 50% of liquid3
consisted of propylene glycol.
In fact, it is well known that glycerine is often
added to moisten tobacco. During combustion glycerine
is transformed into acrolein [3]. The fact that
no combustion is involved when using e-cigarettes
probably plays a fundamental role in the absence of
acrolein from indoor air during their use.

The above experiment, within the limits of the observed
parameters, has underlined that e-smoking
does not produce detectable amounts of toxic and carcinogenic
substances in the air of an enclosed space.

The only response I have to that is, it's stage fog. freaking stage fog. Ever been to a night club or something? Same thing only with some flavoring and nicotine.

GOOD....GO THE EFF OUTSIDE, like you should be when you smoke....Not indoors in an enclosed area for others to breathe in your garbage
Is it really safe for me (the non smoker)?
And no I don't complain about anyting other than things that are forced upon me and my family like this......I make the decision to not breathe this crap in....Period....
Smokers just need to stay outside, that's all I am saying....
