Which was all duly noted loooooooong ago in the Germ-Killing Vapor thread in Health, a sticky. Also noted in Dr. Murray Laugesen's report from Health New Zealand -- more than a year ago!

Old news, dragged out to promote an e-cig company as a PR ad.

Funny to mention this but I have had nearly everyone around me come down with something in the last week or two but have not had any effect at all myself. My two nephews visted me one night and a day later where both laid up with h1n1 then my sister, wife and grandkids, all around me every single day and night, still nothing for me...so is the vaping protecting me, not sure but if it is just all the more reason to keep doing it.

This is almost too unscientific for me to say it, but dang, most of my co-workers just bit the dust in the last week (well, flu call-offs, anyway) and I'm scratching my head goin "why am I not sick?" Weird.

I've often wondered if vaping could be a source of nourishment. I've seen some fluids that have a caloric content, so i wonder how high that could go. Could a person 'vape' their calorie needs?

Of course that isnt going to be for anyone, but imagine the difference for campers, soldiers that can carry their bodies caloric needs in a pocket and it never goes bad, needs no heat to be used, doesnt even need a special can opener

This might be an interesting poll for the forum?!?

I think MANY vapers are curious as to why they aren't getting even common colds anymore

It is interesting isn't it. How ironic if PG was found to be the preventative.
*poof* would go all the profits of Big Pharma in cold and flu remedies.
