Delayed study confirms low-risk claims

When INHALED?

What does your skin,liver,lungs,stomach and intestines have in common?
They are all essentially filters. Granted they are optimized to filter different
things but that doesn't mean they are not capable of filtering out in their
own ways substances not meant for their particular function. There is a reason
we burp you know. Just because something is GRAS for oral or topical use
doesn't automatically exclude it from being inhaled if not used in quantities
only found in industrial settings. Granted there "may" be issues. Then again
there "may" not be issues. I personally have considered the fact that one
is now inhaling "whatever" that is considered grass the least of our concerns.
We have been inhaling them all our lives with no apparent issues over our
lifetimes.(acute sensitivities aside) The scientific evidence seems to bear me
out.

I don't use flavours, so this is one worry less for me.

The EPA doesn't have any studies (from the wiki link) on inhalation. I was commenting on Rossum's comment:
"The article doesn't even allude to any kind of health risk associated with this molecule..."

All it says is that there was X% higher with this flavor than others and that it was 1000 times less than occupational exposure study that only rated the 'exposure' not anything to do with toxicity. Like Rossum said: so what?!

One could say that an all VG eliquid had 75% more VG than other eliquids and that the exposure via inhalation is 1000 times less than the inhalation exposure of DOW chemical workers. Uh... Ok... and that the DOW studies on inhalation have shown no harmful effects (which is true for both VG and PG).

IOW, nothing was stated other than the amounts for this chemical. But all the 'mays' and 'coulds' used, it is a propaganda piece, insinuating harm where none was shown.

This study was brought to you in part by: Philip Morris

Actually it was Roswell but even if PM had input it says nothing about health dangers.... which was my point. There's no study on inhalation so far....
