Does Vape Exhalation from a Person that has some Illness that is spread airborne getting others Sicker

NOMINATED TOPIC | September 8, 2014
Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.

Does Vape Exhalation from a Person that has some Illness that is spread airborne getting others Sicker

Describe why this topic is important.

I am concerned with the popularity of Vaping and its affects on people from the Exhaled vapor. All the testing I have seen explicitly describes most correlations to cigarette smoke but not focusing on what the person exhales and if they have an illness or disease that is spread airborne would this facilitate that spread if used around non contagious people.

How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?

It will help regulate Vapes and the usage in general public. As well hopefully control the spread of airborne illnesses if found that it is a contributor.
