|  Does Propylene Glycol Dislodge Tar in Lungs?
I wonder if Propylene Glycol dissolves tar trapped in your lungs, which might help separate it from healthy tissue. The reason I ask is because PG is an alcohol, and I know from experience that ethyl alcohol (drinking alcohol) and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) can both be used quite effectively to clean tar off pipes (as well as a lot of other substances). If PG has a similar solubility on the tar trapped in your lungs (from years of smoking), wouldn't it make sense that with each puff, you are slowly loosening up the build up of "crud" in your lungs? Just a thought -- I've been coughing up a lot of really disgusting black stuff lately (which I'm told means my lungs are healing  )

I don't really know about the PG aspect. However, I do know that anytime I quit, I always coughed up some nasty stuff afterwards, even without the use of PG.

Years ago I quit smoking and for 6 months I cough up this stuff. I had no E-cig. It is the lungs cleaning themselves. I do not know if the PG helps me the cleaning. |

After about 2 1/2 months of vaping, my coughing stuff in the morning is finally getting better. Not to sound gross, but I was getting these little dark specs in the mix. Those are totally gone now.

I had quit for 5 years..22 years ago..and at that time, I was coughing up crap unbelievably so. I've been off of analogs for 70+ days now and nada. I was expecting to clear my lungs from the caked up crap but to this day, I haven't coughed up anything at all. It seems as though the steam from vaping keeps the crap in tact(?) I do breathe much better now though. Has anybody else been experiencing this that had quit before?
