The basis of the CDC's contention that secondhand vaping is very harmful is that "this aerosol is not as safe as clean air" and that it "is not harmless and that it can contain harmful and potentially harmful chemicals, including nicotine."

The CDC speaks of "clean air" like people breathe a pristine lab mix of oxygen and nitrogen. Excuse the metaphor, but they're living a pipe dream. Whats in most "clean air" isn't so pretty as they make it out to be, giving good reason for advising people with health issues (or people in general) not to go outside on certain summer days.

Miniscule amounts of nicotine are the least of anyone's worries, and small amounts of PG/VG do more to purify most room air than they do for supplying any additional harm. The CDC demonizes vaping as if we are all vapor factories out there polluting up everyones "clean air". We've already seen test data which found no appreciable amounts of anything of interest in the air of several cloud-filled vape shops and lounges.

There are plenty of major sources of air pollution out there that do real harm to many people, yet the CDC does nothing to improve public health by nit-picking at small-fry vapers while ignoring the big predator fish.

Thank god for Dr. Siegel......

Dr. Siegel may have seen it, but we have not, because the good doctor never showed us the actual data.

He's right about this though. The CDC seems to have no reasonable sense of perspective at all, something that is all too common in government regulatory agencies.
