Chemicals in ecig vapours
Compare that partial list with chemicals and compounds in e-cigarette vapours
- Nicotine
- Propylene glycol (not Ethylene glycol - which is toxic). Used in asthma inhalers and nebulizers. An experiment using animals determined "air containing these vapors in amounts up to the saturation point is completely harmless". The USA FDA has classified propylene glycol as "generally recognised as safe".
- Vegetable glycerol - low toxicity. Used in medications, cosmetic and food items.
The only other chemicals are in the flavourings, which (if coming from a reputable merchant) are food grade and generally recognised as safe. By volume, flavours make up a very small percentage of eliquids.
So back to my question above... Vaping over stinkyciggs?
To my amazement, it does kick tobacco's asses for most vapers. It is time for smokers to bid farewell to the booming cigarette taxes that's profiting anyone but us for the wrong reasons.
