The Truth About Electronic Cigarettes | Quit Smoking (Yesterday)

Already has some good commentary

WHAT FLUIDS ARE CONTAINED IN THESE E-CIGARETTES?
The fluid used in many e-cigarettes, commonly called “ejuice” contain the following ingredients:

• Propylene Glycol, which can cause gastrointestinal irritation.
• Nicotine, the basic substance found in many cigarettes.
• tobacco essence, which does nothing to keep people from continuing their smoking habit.
• Tetramethylpyrazine, which has been shown in lab tests to cause brain damage from prolonged exposure.

SO SHOULD WE AVOID E-CIGARETTES?
Definitely!

I didn't read far into that BS, but he does have one valid point;

"Marketed to a more ‘cool’ demographic."

@t9c: Tetramethylpyrazine is used in flavorings...Google shows lots of research on it's beneficial effects!

Yep, I tried reading some of the googled articles and...whew! Reading the comments from a pharmacist was easier reading.

Although the author does eventually agree with the commenters, he is disingenuous IMO since he hasn't changed the verbiage in the article to reflect this new opinion.

One of the comments...

Oh no.. the e-juice DRIPS? Goodness me. And I suppose the other thousands of toxic substances we deal with every day do not?

How about anti-freeze under your car? That’ll kill your dog in one dose. Oh somebody help us, an adult who bought e-juice might get it on their finger. Puh leeze.

Doesn't bother me...If some juice gets on my hand...I just rub it in!
I think that's one of the reasons I am now vaping less
