Here's what I don't get. Presumably it's considered "safe" to take these flavorings, mix them into a cake batter, put it into the oven where the volatile chemicals are heated to their evaporation point and permeate the air lending a pleasant odor to my kitchen, but then somehow, at the same time, it might not be "safe" to take the same flavorings, mix them into an e-liquid, put it into an atomizer where the same volatile chemicals are again heated to their evaporation point and permeate the air,lending a pleasant odor to my stanky breath? So I'm standing in the kitchen breathing in evaporated flavorings from the oven and it's just fine, but then I breathe in the same evaporated flavorings coming from my e-cig and, suddenly it's all "question marks"? What's the difference?

That's a good point, and probably something that has not been tested much if at all.

I'd say it's probably got something to do with concentration though - it's generally considered to be relatively safe to use contact adhesive in a well ventilated room, but it's definitely not safe to put it in a plastic bag and huff it.

I think it's possible to overthink these things though - even if the flavorings aren't all that safe to inhale (though I believe they are most likely fine) they're still a lot safer than smoking.

Tell us something we don't know.

Air of what;

Specific humidity
Relative humidity
Temperature
Oxygen content
Nitrogen content
Argon
Helium
Carbon
Hydrogen
Pollen
Particulate matter
DOC
VOC
?????

Where can "ideal" air be found?

Los Angeles
London
The Andes
Arctic circle
?????

What is this "pure" air you speak of and where can it be found?

In what location?
At what time in history?

My children are suffering from our local "pure air" this season.

If there's something you know about "ideal air" you can save BILLIONS from the same suffering and torment.

PLEASE help.
For the sake of humanity.

You're probably right. You should stop breathing air immediately.

There is a lot to be said for this post.. I agree with this..

As for general overall safety.. nothing is. Not one thing we do or can do is absolutely safe. We are all dying. We can live the healthiest of lives, and still die. Is the problem in the artificial flavorings we eat? Is it in the chemicals sprayed on vegetables? Is it in th smog filled air we breathe?

I'm dying, but i want to choose how I feel in the days leading up to my death.

I want to have some pleasure, so a little alcohol from time to time is acceptable. I want some more pleasure, so i will also partake in the occasional dessert.

I want to feel good, and have the physical ability to care for myself and those i love for as long as possible, so i will exercise and eat reasonably healthy, without freaking out over too much.

I want to breathe well enough to do the above exercise, so i will stop smoking which I began in ignorance in my youth..

To do the above successfully.. i will vape. To breathe better than when i smoked, I will vape because I found it exceedingly helpful in improving my oxygen intake over smoking. To have some pleasure of dessert without the calories of dessert, i will vape sweet flavors I enjoy.

But I'm under no illusions about anything..

At this moment I suspect air in the arctic is somewhat safer than vaping.

Breathing air in the Los Angeles basin? Probably better to be vaping in the arctic!
Probably better to be smoking in the Arctic even.
