Could PG be good for you?

[SkinyFatMan]

Pbusardo has a link to this site that says that the PG that we are vaping may actually be good for us. Could we use this to justify that e-cigs are not only not harmful, but also good?Propylene glycol in e cigarettes might keep us healthy, says researchers

Well perhaps, but many are very sensitive to PG so.......

PG is synthetic. VG is Vegetable Glycerin. I've know a few people who had bad reactions to PG. The only reason I use it is when I stealth vape. Less visible vapor. Otherwise I stick with mostly VG.

This is a great quote -
"Dr. Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air first with propylene glycol, then with influenza virus. All the mice lived. Then he sprayed the chamber with virus alone. All the mice died."
- but the experiment was done in 1942. It'd be better to see some more current research.
But I now have high hopes that vaping will prevent flu!

Wooo, no more flu shots.

Doubt it. I tend to listen to my body more than reviewers and journalists. Low fat cheese is supposed to be good for you too but theres a reason it tastes like crap IMO.

I much prefer VG anyway...thicker fuller vapor and nowhere near as harsh. I equate the harshness from pg with cheap generic cigarettes.

I raised this very question recently. If PG and VG are alcohols and alcohols disinfect then inhaling these alcohols disinfect the air you're breathing. I can't imagine it's 100% but if someone has a cold or flu then perhaps it's a good idea to start vaping while you're sharing their air.

Also! Foul smells from food are bacterial in origin so I did a little research on whether they can kill the smell of farts!










They can't! It was worth a thought though... I distinctly remember waking up last night overwhelmed by the smell of a fart. If it smells so bad it wakes you up then it's bad.

PG was what finally put an end to Legionnaire's Disease.

It also has other healthful properties. See: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/265383-vaping-shields-up.html#post5221343

Have a look at the label on your bottle of Biotene, yup, your guest it, primary active ingredient is PG.
Now look at your jar of hand sanitizer ........... same thing ........... PG.
Been saying it all along, PG has well known health benefits, that's why it's atomized into the ventilation systems of so many hospitals.

BUT, the anti's don't want to talk about that

 

[Alfro]

awesomeeeee! could some Doc put a patent on it already, and smack on the damn govern's door.. damnnnn!

If your farts are that bad, smoking may not be the worst thing you should be worried about ;0

I know you are more than likely just joking, but just in case you aren't aware......flu shots are TERRIBLE for you. They are made from animals, and contain trace amounts of heavy metals, pus, blood, mucus, etc. You can research it yourself.

I've known many people to get very sick from flu shots....and thousands across the globe have been completely paralyzed from them. Some have developed auto immune diseases from them. Use at your own risk.

Personally, I wont go NEAR them. They are a gimick, as a healthy person should be able to come into minimal contact with the flu virus, and not get it. And if you do get it, your body uses the opportunity to cleanse itself. Not a bad thing.

I wont let my children get flu shots, and now all the schools are pushing them hard core. Agenda to the max.

My wife got sick last week... I didn't get sick. I vape 80PG/20VG.

 

[yzer]

I really have to laugh at health claims for PG. Try PG-13: not recommended for young children.

 

[440BB]

Based on these studies, it seems that exhaled PG would be healthy for those around you. During flu season, people should search out the vapers and huddle around them.

Quite the opposite of second hand smoke huh?

I like pg than vg. Perhaps every one also like that. Because it makes me fresh and reduce my tension.

I used to get sick at least twice each year, with the more mild colds lasting about a week from beginning to end.

I have only been sick once in the last four years I've been vaping.
And instead of lasting about a week, it lasted one day.

I'm most definitely a believer, and have been for years.

I used to get the flu or bronchitis every year, sometime between November and January. Episodes were getting more and more severe each year. Started vaping in November, and this January, I got a little cold, mostly just sniffles and a bit of sore throat. No cough. Lasted two days. And that's it. Hope this continues. Maybe next year no cold at all!

 

[Toombstoned]

No need to research this. The Internet said it was good for me and they can't put lies on the internet.Lol
