Now someone whom i was talking with (hes a sceptic about everything) says that e-cigs arent good for your health. That they have found its actually more harmful than reg cigs. So what has been proven or atleast scoped out far as medical benefits vs reg cigs. I mean i know about the no tar and lack of chemicals from the reg cigs so i know thats a major plus but what about everything else? What about the claims that poped up a yr or so ago?
yeah...the FDA and the groups like ASH, ALA, ACS, campain for
tobacco free kids have been spreding those lies for about a year now I'd guess...
they're good at kicking out buzzwords that people might find concerning if they don't pay attention...
the FDA report found 1 cartridge in the whole 18 they tested from SE and
njoy that contained 1% DEG...and that was a big crap storm... they fail to tell you that it's in higher concentrations in regular cigs and that it was only in 1 cartridge though they couldn't get a measurable level in the actual vapor...it's one of those dose makes the poisons things...
They say Anti- Freeze...but fail to say that yes PG is used in anti-freeze...it's the more enviromentally safe alternative they went to...it's used for livestock in the winters as an additive for their drinking water to keep it from freezing...is approved by the FDA for human consumption up to something silly like 23mg/kg (yeah per kilogram of body weight)...and breaks down to lactic acid and leaves the body in about 4 hours...it's used in stage fog machines, asthma meds, nebulizers and breathing treatments in hospitals, as an air bactricide in hospital air, and is in soap, shampoo, personal lubricants, and as a food additive (candy flavorings are mostly a PG base)
they also cited
tobacco specific nitrosamines...what they don't tell you is these are in levels equal to or less than what you'd find in the patch or nicotine gum or other NRT products....
in the years that e-cigs have been around there has been no seriuos injury or deaths attributed to them...
it's the big pharmaseutical companies and the Anti-tobbacco people running scared...
some fear that e-cigs will revive some of the social acceptability of something that looks like smoking...
e-cigs are also proving to be more effective in people using them and not smoking than any of their NRT products with their dismal failure rates...
and since places like the ALA, campaign for tobacco free kids, ACS all get funding from BP and also run the quit smoking hotlines, support groups, etc...of course they're going to be against something that threatens that....and they're going to spread their propaganda...
in reality though they say they're against smoking...they depend on people continuing to smoke and making failed attempt after failed attempt of quitting...because if the problem went away there'd be no need for them...they'd be out of jobs..
in eliguid youve got PG/VG/or both, nicotine (really no worse than caffiene), and flavoring (candy or baking flavoring you can get at any decent bakery supply shop)...versus 4000+ chemicals in cigs (including carpet glue now with the FRC).... it sould be a no brainer choice...and there's been several studies on inhaled PG showing no issues...
that's here:
