With all the flavors out there it's easy to think that vaping is just a fun game that doesn't cause any harm but that is not true and everyone knows it. Now keep enjoying your PV it is by far a trillion times "Healthier" then any cigarette you ever smoked.

I think in the Long Run it might be shown that the Flavors are actualy the Greatest harm in vaping.

Do tell....................

Whats there to tell?

The Flavors in most e-Liquids were never intended to be put in a persons lungs. Heck, some of them are considered questionable in foods.

It's just too early to know what the long term effects of cronic vaping is on the human body.

I deal/work with horses, cats and dogs on a daily basis. At my job, I am exposed to toner dust. I use medications and fly sprays on the animals. Most everything has some type of safety warning. Now as for vaping, I know it is safer than smoking. I do enjoy it, just as I enjoy my animals. I choose to take my chances. Everything we eat, drink or breathe at times has a chance to do us harm. It is just the world we live in.

Be aware that some flavorings can also cause GERD or reflux (everyone is different, so one that causes mine may not cause yours). There are a few that I love and can't give up that cause me grief. I have to monitor the flavoring strength on them so I cut it with some PG/VG and don't have nearly the problems. GERD and reflux can come from swallowing e-liquid too.

@ ZoiDman - who lists artificial coloring as an ingredient?

After this long with people using these for years and the information that is available on them, I'm not worried about my vaping. There have been some pretty prominent people in the health industry who back the use of them and have looked at e-cigs and the ingredients without raising any real issues.

In a new report that bucks the concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration, a Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researcher concludes that electronic cigarettes are much safer than real cigarettes and show promise in the fight against tobacco-related diseases and death.

Just curious but where do you get your facts that "e-cigarettes are not harmless?" All that is in them are VG/PG which is found in many food, cosmetic products, etc...water, flavoring and food coloring...how do these items cause cancer? Do tell...

Oh and of course nitotine should you select that option:) But most people that I've spoken to about nicotine say it's harmelss even though it's really not but nicotine doesn't cause cancer, it CAN cause other problems clogging up arteries, etc but most doctors don't even worry about that when it comes to the e-cig.

Talk to a Doctor and ask him "doctor is it healthy to inhale any sort of vapor from e-cig?" nothing that you inhale is healthy it's common sense if you ask me. If I walk around Atlanta the crap that I have to inhale due to the smock here is unhealthy no one in the world thinks that e-cig's are healthy they are just a HEALTHIER alternative. If you or anyone thinks different then so be it.

lets put it this way, if e cigs were 1 forth as bad as analogs they would have banned them.
im my experience it is just as safe as a cup of coffee

You don't ever want to completely ban things that you might want to Tax later.

...

I believe that Lorann does. I know that their Flavorings are every color of the rainbow. Whereas Very Few Flavorart or TPA Flavorings have any color what so ever.

Should I take anything from your user id? Are you pro smoker and hatin on people who vape?

I have asked my lung doc and she was all for it, her direct reply to me was "go for it!"

Personally, I believe it is harmless unless proved otherwise.

Good point.

I kinda think of things as Harmful unless proven otherwise. But then again, I tend to see the glasses as half empty instead of half full.

BTW - What type of coordinate system is you Location in?

If my user ID was I eat kids then you would think I eat kids? I really don't try to be rude but if you really think that vaping is healthy and won't cause any harm to your body at all then please stay in your wonder world land and it's all good. You made a thread for discussion and here I am giving you my opinion.

I smoked for 16 years of my life and my lungs are in horrible condition my overall health was in horrible condition so I tried to find something that is healthier for me then smoking and I found it in vaping. I love vaping because it offers me the privilege to still "smoke" without all the crap that is in cigarettes. I am just telling you that you need to open your eyes and realize that nothing that you inhale into your lungs is HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!

Your doctor told you "Go for it" most likely because she knows ANYTHING IS BETTER THEN SMOKING CIGARETTES and shes right of course go for it vaping is a trillion times better then smoking, however, IT IS NOT 100% HEALTHY because you are still inhaling something.

That is great if you read the label of what is in the juice we are buying you will see that there are still substances that just cannot be 100% healthy for our body. Again I love vaping and it is probably way way better then smoking but thinking that it is totally safe is just foolish to believe.

Dude I inhale air but air in my living room doesn't cause cancer... And were not talking about eating your kids lol, this is a e-cig website and your user id is wanttoquit, my question was more than appropriate. I think you need to do some more research because you are preaching a song that isn't really true.

Also 16 years isn't that long, your average person doesn't have issues after 16 years....double that number at least. Not trying to pick a fight with you but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder and somewhat bitter.

PG and VG are in foods and other thinks we eat daily...if it was dangerous for you the FDA would have taken care of that long ago man...I think you are looking for problems where there are none.

I'm just curious...since you keep saying it's going to cause harm to my body, do tell! What exactly is it going to do to my body? Do you know something that the rest of us don't?
