Does the Electronic Cigarette Create Problems for people who have difficulty breathing?

by David McPherson

I am concerned about the electronic cigarette and the vapors that are exhaled. Will it affect my health?

I am registered disabled. I was involved in a serious car crash which left me, amongst other things with a ruptured diaphragm.

I have difficulty breathing because of this and my lung capacity is only 59%. Does anyone know what medical problems I would possibly suffer if I was in a room and in close proximity to someone using one of these devises? I am a non smoker.

David:

According to the manufacturer of thee e-cig, the vapour that is exhaled is water vapour.

I cannot see how this would be a problem for you. But I am not an expert on these devices and I do not support their use in the public domain.

Since the tobacco companies withheld information about the harmful smoking effects on the body I find it hard to trust other commercial enterprises that are trying to market a smoking product.

All commercial enterprises know there is a LOT of money to be made here....

I would lover to hear from some respiratory experts about this.
