Inhaling PG - perhaps not the great unknown after all

[Nazareth]

meh- Iggle- trolls like you aint worth the effort- have a nice 'good' life that apparently is so boring that you feel the need to obsess abotu other people and insult htem whenever you feel like it in an effort to make yourself feel better abotu yourself- if running others down is what it takes to make you feel better about yourself, then that's just sad- enjoy your 'good' life- and since you 'can't be bothered with me' I'm certain you won't 'bother' to respond- Yeah right!

Can any medical doctors jump in here please!? I am a bit concerned about the effects of PG. I know I'm better off without the old cigs. (Got rid of that cough thank God.) But now I have wicked cotton mouth in the morning and I didn't even have any alcohol! I would like to know exactly what happens in the body to cause this dryness. It can't be good for you. Where does the water go? Is it just eliminated through the process of uh...elimination? Gotta go to work now and will be looking forward to an answer when I get back home.

Janet- Stage actors have been exposed to htis stuff for quite soem time- much higher concentrations even than we esmokers get, and there has been no ill effects except for the occassional allergy to PG- as well, PG has been tested in animals for quite soem time with no ill effects, and even experiencing benifits. There are some articles on Med Sites like pubmed central I believe if ya wanna check that out more.

Janet, have you read the germ-killing vapor thread? That has valuable information.

May I suggest you make an appointment to see your own doctor to discuss your concerns. Pay no heed to the nonsense spouted by our dyslexic friend. Stage actors VERY rarely have exposure to any form of PG and on the rare occassions they do it is nowhere near as concentrated as a direct inhilation from an e-cigarette.

The long term effects of PG on the body when consumed in this way are not yet known. My advice to you is give up smoke inhilation altogether and allow your lungs a chance to do what they were meant to do.

Janet- pay no attention to Iggle- there are repors available abotu stage actors and hteir exposure ot PG, and we have an actor on htis forum who has attested to hte fact that he indeed did exposed ot large quantities of PG- Tyhose trying to discredit me hsould have doen hteuir homework first

Janet
the same problem exists with the normal cigarette
The dryness of the mouth finds himself with the normal cigarette and also PG (but in this case it is burnt)
But PG is not cited as dangerous in normal cigarettes
Why should it be with the E-Cig?
Perhaps dryness of mouth are caused by the PG, this could be a possibility
These dryness of mouth are also a side effect including neuroleptics
it's a feeling uncomfortable but not serious

Enough with hte Nasty abusive PM's iggle-

Are you so insecure that you feel the need to resort to peripheral, pedantic attacks on people's grammar, not to mention insulting dyslexics everywhere - it's not an intellectual disability. Try to discuss and debate things without being such an obnoxious little prat, if you can, then maybe someone will take you seriously - I doubt it tho. In short, come back when your balls have dropped, alright luv?

Toxicological evaluation of glycerin as a cigarette ingredient

Of course this is from Philip Morris, but it's a start to get this conversation back on track.

Glycerine, PG in cigarettes vs e-cigs. Looking for more links.
