I've been vaping for over 2 months and lots of people at school and in my family have had the flu and I haven't been sick at all.

Well, I can't say that correlation is causation, but I haven't had the flu either. This poll will only become more telling as we move into flu season. H1N1 is bouncing around my office like a super ball, but I feel fine.

Poll is invalid for me.
I have been vaping for over a month and havent had the flu, but I got a flu shot before I began vaping.
So I have no clue if its the shot or the PG that is keeping me from getting sick.
Maybe a combo of both.

I probably should have included that. Didn't even think of the flu shot. I haven't gotten the flu shot. Don't plan on it either. Never have.

Is this in reference to the study on airborne infectious disease reduction done back in the early forties where by they discovered that PG vapor proved effective at killing a host of infectious bacteria and viruses?

I started to feel like I was going to get the flu but that only lasted 1 day and never got it. It would be nice if this helps keep from getting the flu. my medical condition I have I catch colds and flu a lot cause my body is trying to fight the ulcers I have. if I get the flu shot I always get the flu so I stoped getting the shot.
