does this worry you about e-cigs?

not in the least I make my own juice and don't use sweetener

Well, I'm somewhat convinced that your body will alert you to issues- I know when I smoked cigarettes, I felt like crap everyday and couldn't breath- obviously, plenty in them was bad for me. I'm not seeming to feel bad, or have any adverse issues with vaping, so there can't be anything at least obviously scary to it...

As is your right, however such a broad, sweeping statement isn't really credible, much like the anti-smoking propaganda out there.

Sucralose and stevia have NOT been linked with cancers, or any other serious side effects.

Aspartame has some questionable science behind it as far as cancer goes, however it has been shown to affect the endocrine system negatively.

I see no problem with avoiding artificial sweeteners for the sake of living more "naturally", however to claim that they all have been linked to really bad things isn't really accurate.

Exactly. The FDA used the same flawed data and scare tactics with art. sweetners and they are doing with vaping. It took 20 years and an act of congress before the restrictions were removed.

If you feel they aren't healthy, by all means don't use them. I'm not trying to convince anyone otherwise. I just hope it doesn't take us 20 years to undue what the FDA is trying to do.

Bottom line, I smoked for 35+ years and KNEW it was bad for me and still chose to do it. Do I worry about what's in the juice, not so much!

Every day in hospitals across the country PG is in the HVAC air handling system and in the nebulizer type breathing treatments used to deliver Albuterol to the lungs for COPD and pneumonia.

PG in the concentrations we use in ecigs is probably over the top for safe consumption and probably causes some irritation on its own, but it's magnitudes better for me than the two pack a day habit I had during my pre-vaping days, IMO. It's a huge step toward longer life for me and I do not miss smoking cigarettes. That has to be a monumental step for one who previously just couldn't quit smoking before vaping.
