Is there a risk of secondhand vape smoke with e-cigarettes? Should e-cigarettes be included in a tobacco-free policy?

Data from a small number of randomized clinical trials also show that using e-cigarettes with nicotine may help people quit smoking.
However, e-cigarette use can result in symptoms of nicotine dependence and the long-term health consequences of e-cigarettes remain unknown.
