Have you ever wondered if E-Cigarette secondhand smoke is dangerous? There isn't too many studies out just yet to prove one way or another, but we did find this article this morning that indicates that e-cigarettes may be safer for the smoker, but not others around.

E-cigarette smoke contains chromium - a toxic element that is not present in traditional cigarettes - and nickel at levels four times higher than normal cigarettes.
