extracted tobacco flavors?

[Possum Stew]

Hey ya'll,

I recently purchased a sample of some HHV tobaccos flavors. They are delicious, but I am curious about the health of such extractions. Using analog plant material that I tried so hard to get away from scares me a bit. I don't have any information or evidence to support any health claims or hazards, but I'm interested your two cents.

It's only dangerous when it's burning. And the nic in all of your juice comes from tobacco too.

Here's a post I made previously about the subject..

Any eliquid can't be guarenteed safe yet since we don't know about any unknown long-term effects of vaping flavoring. People like me will go so far as to say that it's probably safe, and I'm not concerned of the relatively small chance that it may be problematic down the road.

Tobacco is extracted in a few different ways, all involving tobacco leaves to get flavor. I believe the studies on some show very little to no carcinogens detected, but that may vary on extraction method. I don't think we can say for sure yet how more risky extracted tobaccos are, but I think it's safe to say the risk may be a little higher than synthetic flavors, but not nearly at the risk level of burning tobacco.

Most of the danger (from what I understand) from smoking comes from the tar and carcinogens of burning tobacco, so no worries about that part with vaping.

In the end, no one can say for sure yet if vaping synthetic flavors or extracted flavor is a health risk long-term, and if one is more-so than the other. I think the harm reduction either way is immense compared to smoking, so I vape the flavors I love, many happen to be extracted tobaccos.

That is the post I was going to make if I had the mental fortitude to make it.

Thanks everyone. You all make valid points. I guess my concern has been more due to a comparison of the risks associated with other smokeless tobacco products like chew. The high sugar content and carcinogens of chewing tobacco are not caused by combustion.

From what I've read, chewing tobacco has 28 known carcinogens, one of which may be linked to mouth cancer, but the risk of getting cancer from it is very low. Coffee too, has 21 know carcinogens, and most foods we link contain carcinogens, though at a level that makes it almost meaningless.

Smoking is so dangerous because inhaling smoke of any kind is dangerous. Tobacco by itself I don't think is more dangerous than other plant matter we consume, despite what the FDA may hint at.

Keep in mind, I'm not an expert in any way and my info is based on fairly limited reading on the subject. Personally, I think it's ridiculous we don't know more about the direct links of carcinogens we're exposed to daily and cancer, but sadly there's not as much money to be gained from preventative research as there is from treatment.
