It's gross and terrible for bystanders' lungs, considering they didn't consent. And unfortunately, it's all too common to walk through a cloud of vape smoke when you're not vaping.
Considering how little potential danger there is to the person directly inhaling the vaporized liquid, you have less to fear from second-hand vape than you do from living in a big city (with regard to quality of air).
Still tacky to vape indoors around other people who don’t like it, but you genuinely have essentially nothing to worry about second-hand. It’s like being around a fog machine.
It triggers a bunch of reactions for me due to sensitivity, so I'll thank you not to minimise the concerns other people may have.
Not to mention, why does there even have to be health concerns to be against the fact that other people are directly polluting the air I'm currently breathing up close and personal (and stinking up my clothes).
