Propylene Glycol commonly found in Electronic Vape Liquids
One of the main ingredients in electronic vape liquids is propylene glycol (PG). It is used as a flavor catalyst. It is commonly found in ice cream and other foods for that mouthwatering taste. This question has come up so many times “Is it safe?”. I would say to you that it must be safe for the FDA to approve it in use of some of the foods that we eat daily.
There was an article in Time Magazine (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,932876,00.html) that stated Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson did a group of studies on medicine: Air Germicide. These studies were conducted at the University of Chicago’s Billings Hospital on propylene glycol as air germicide to sterilize the air.
These studies suggested that PG was a powerful preventative against pneumonia, influenza, and other respiratory diseases. PG is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, non-irritating, and highly bactericidal.
Dr. Robertson did a study with monkeys to evaluate the effects on the lungs from PG. Continuous months of exposure to the vapor of PG. After many months, the monkeys were happy, fat, and remained relatively healthy. No one expects to be in the continuous vapor as per the study but that should give us an idea that it should be safe in crowded areas such as theaters and restaurants where most respiratory diseases are picked up.
I myself as a person who loves to vape have had no adverse effects from vaping over the last four years. As a matter of a fact, my breathing has improved compared to when I smoked cigarettes. I also have not had to deal with the many respiratory issues prior to vaping. So, I would encourage you to do your own research if only to put your own fears at rest and not be biased towards those who vape. Rest assured we are constantly researching the products used in the vaping industry so we may offer to our clients only the very best the industry has to offer.
