Results are in! E-juice is safer than analog smoke!
Thanks to Trumpy Bloke for combing over the study. Here is his summarization:
"On balance, the Gamucci Ltd ‘Regular’ nicotine solution appears to offer a much safer alternative to
the traditional cigarette.
Using this nicotine solution, the artificial smoke generated by the Electronic Cigarette does not appear
to contain the toxic cocktail of toxic carcinogenic compounds found in traditional tobacco smoke.
Some 600+ chemicals have been identified in traditional tobacco smoke, of which many are
carcinogenic.
The primary aerosol forming solvent (Propylene Glycol) used in the preparation of the nicotine
solution is listed as a suspected respiratory toxicant. should look at changing the aerosol forming
solvent from the suspected respiratory toxicant ‘Propylene Glycol’, to an even safer solvent such as
Glycerol."
Thanks to Trumpy Bloke for combing over the study. Here is his summarization:
- it is confirmation that compared to regular cigarettes e-smoking is far safer
- it confirms the ingredients apart from nicotine are classified as unknown or harmless
- it does however suggest PG be replaced by glycerol for maximum safety
- it is actually 4 different studies on the 4 different Gamucci liquids
- The Lab specifically mentions it is a "much safer alternative" and the unknowns are flavorings in very small amounts
