Etymology: By analogy to passive smoking, a topic of more extensive history in medical studies.
Senses: examples: text: This study should describe the state of the art of knowledge with respect to the following four items: (1) ingredients of the vapor and their potential risks, the influence of EC on smoking of combustible tobacco to (2) adults and (3) the youth, and (4) the side effects of passive vaping. In general, the effects of passive vaporing are unknown. Although the vapor of EC is less harmful than tobacco smoke, EC are not hazard-free lifestyle products. Technical standardization should be desirable.

text: Similar to conventional second hand smoking, passive vaping related to E-cigarette also poses threat of developing vaping related lung disorders and possibly cancer. Carcinogenicity of the vapor released depends on multiple factors: type of device, E-liquid composition and ingredients, temperature, technique and so on. Few of the studies have even found E-cigarettes to be more addictive than conventional smoking.
