New study confirms that chemicals in electronic cigarettes pose minimal health risk
A bit on the technical side but by reviewing over 9,000 observations about the chemistry of the vapor and the liquid in e-cigarettes, Dr. Igor Burstyn was able to determine that the levels of contaminants e-cigarette users are exposed to are insignificant, far below levels that would pose any health risk. Additionally, there is no health risk to bystanders. Proposals to ban e-cigarettes in places where smoking is banned have been based on concern there is a potential risk to bystanders, but the study shows there is no concern.

Just make sure you keep yourself hydrated. Take a sip of water before and after each puff. Congratulations!!
