The Evolving “Smoking” Landscape
Hookah pens aerosolizing flavored liquids, with and without nicotine
Heat-not-burn products that produce an aerosol, but no fire or smoke
Colorfully packaged, flavored little cigars and cigarillos, both regular and electronic
Butane derived THC that you can dab
Liquid THC, which you can aerosolize.
All of these products will have a unique 2nd and 3rd hand smoke/vapor Chemical footprint

High School Students’ Use of Electronic Cigarettes to Vaporize Cannabis
Nearly 4000 High School Students in Connecticut completed an anonymous survey
‒ 27% who have used both marijuana and e-cigarettes reported using e-cigarette aerosolizers to vaporize cannabis including hash oil, and wax THC. (Morean et al., 2015)

Dabbing
Dabbing: Inhaling the vapors from a concentrated form of marijuana made by an extracting THC using butane gas.
Dabs, also known as butane hash oil (BHO) — "bladder," "honeycomb" or "earwax"
Dabbing will leave its own unique chemical footprint

• Secondhand smoke is estimated to cause ~50,000 US deaths/year, mostly from cardiovascular disease
• Smoking bans in public places lead to reduction in frequency of heart attacks
• Smoking causes over 140,000 cardiovascular deaths in the US per year

(Vasodilation: Arteries grow in diameter when necessary)
Tobacco secondhand smoke exposure impairs ability of arteries to vasodilate when they need to pass more blood
Important: Impairment is temporary, but repeated exposures lead to long-term impairment

Acute and long-term cardiovascular risk is unclear
Risk of MI goes up ~5-fold in the hour after marijuana use (Mittleman, 2001)
No clear correlation between long-term marijuana use and cardiovascular disease later in life (e.g., Reis, 2017 CARDIA study)
…but, increased MI, heart failure, stroke reported for marijuana users relative to non-users (e.g., Kalla et al., Chami et al., 2017 ACC conference)
Mortality from MI may or may not increase in marijuana users (Mukamal, 2008; Frost, 2013)

Summary (1)
Neither THC nor paper smoke are required for marijuana SHS to impair vascular function.
...nicotine is not required for impairment of vascular function by smoke.
One minute of marijuana SHS exposure impairs vascular function for at least 90 minutes, longer than impairment from tobacco SHS.
Marijuana SHS for one minute substantially impairs vascular endothelial function in rats.

Summary (2)
E-cigarette use (in humans) causes changes in blood that impair endothelial NO production.
Mainstream and modeled secondhand exposure to Volcano aerosol can impair FMD (preliminary).
Inhalation of inert particles impairs FMD.
Mainstream use of IQOS heat-not-burn tobacco product impairs FMD like smoking a cigarette.

Bottom Line:
Public exposure to secondhand smoke should be avoided whether the source is tobacco or marijuana.

Experimental methods
Measure fine particle concentration in air‒ Laser photometers (SidePaks and Dusttrak)‒ Air pumps and filters (preweigh filter, collect air sample, post weigh)‒ We use cyclones and impactors to block particles over 2.5 µm
Measure room
Count staff and customers
Log cannabis use behavior
Log demographic data (No IRB, no direct interactions)

Tobacco use amongst adults and youth is on the decline; however, use of electronic smoking devices, including JUUL, and that co-use of combustible marijuana and tobacco is on the rise. One strategy to reduce use is to include e-cigarettes and marijuana in smokefree laws.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Marijuana, legal or not, creates secondhand smoke.
There is science about the particulate matter created by secondhand marijuana smoke, and more is coming.
There is science about the health effects of secondhand marijuana smoke, and more is coming.
Research demonstrates that ventilation systems cannot remove all of the hazardous gases, toxins, and particulate matter created by secondhand smoke and aerosol; therefore, ventilation is not a solution. Smokefree environments protect workers and patrons from exposure to secondhand smoke and aerosol.

To protect nonsmokers from the health consequences of exposure to secondhand tobacco and marijuana smoke, as well as the secondhand aerosol from electronic and “vapor” products, tobacco, marijuana, and electronic smoking devices should not be permitted for use in smokefree spaces. Instead of making concessions for indoor smoking spaces, one should consider identifying outdoor spaces, obstructed from public view, and where the risk of secondhand exposure is minimized.
