None of it means beans or meat.
The vaping market doesn't even reflect .1 of one percent of the flavoring industry sales.
There isn't a single flavor / flavoring that a reputable lab or agency would approve or recommend as 'safe' to suspend in aerosol and inhale.
There are no flavors / flavoring considered as GRAS for inhalation, none.
There are no safe level standards for inhalation use of any flavoring or whatever is in flavorings that are considered applicable to e cigs, none.
Until someone changes the minds of the 'expert panel' the FDA has & will listen to
---> Safety Assessment and Regulatory Authority to Use Flavors: Focus on E-Cigarettes | FEMA
Or, forms a consensus within the industry, devises a standard method of testing, defines safe levels of whatever, forms and or funds a controlling authority, have it all peer reviewed, then submit that to the FDA.
We can test & remove all possibly harmful ingredients until we're blue in the face, until the FDA approves food flavorings for inhalation use we're pretty much sol.
Food flavorings are controlled by the FDA, any approved use goes through them.
All the FDA has to do is say 'we don't approve flavorings' then un approved use will be forced into participating in something like the tobacco MSA, 100% funded by the e cig industry.
Catch 22.
IMO, the FDA is rolling on the floor while collecting, copying & filing away vapers own words which will likely come back to bite them.
*Looky here, even people that use e cigs think some components of e liquid could be or are unsafe, they're even doing the research to prove it for us.*
But we just want to know the dangers of an unknown,
*sorry you're on your own to figure it out, anything you discover along the way will be used against you.*
IMO, when an activity is too risky for an individuals comfort level they shouldn't participate, or when it becomes too risky it is time for that individual to stop participating in the activity.
This jumping on the bandwagon with or at least assisting those seeking to pretty much end the industry as we know it or morph into something that fits in a tiny little very expensive regulated box that they control is self destructive.
vaping too dangerous, too many unknowns, too many risks, not enough information provided to make a personal risk assessment decision? walk away just like you would from any other activity you thought was unsafe or beyond your personal risk threshold.
Just me, I'd still vape if we found out it contained just 50% less of everything known in cigarette smoke.
I never once thought of vaping as harmless or safe and knew it came with risks.
Safer alternative to inhaling tobacco smoke, tobacco harm reduction, less harmful than smoking cigarettes, yes.
GRAS, no.
Inhaling anything other than the air we all share comes with risks, period.
