Medical Uses
PG has been used as the aqueous-based chemical additive in asthma inhalers and nebulizers since the 1950s, with no serious side effects known. PG, because of its water-retaining properties, is the compound of choice for delivering atomized medication. It is also a common diluent for injectable medications, constituting 40 percent of the intravenous form of Phenytoin, an anti-seizure drug.

Electronic Cigarettes

Persons trying to quit smoking have recently turned to the recent invention of electronic cigarettes. Battery-powered, these devices deliver measured amounts of nicotine diluted in PG and then inhaled. A heating element within the device vaporizes the compounds, thereby allowing for easy inhalation. While many have questioned the safety of electronic cigarettes, their concerns are directed toward the inconsistent amounts of nicotine, not the PG solution in which it is delivered.

Well at least we know there is one ingredient that the FDA approved of in the ecig.

Now if we can just get them to approve of the nicotine and at least recognize what other ingredients compared to NRT and cigarettes.

Have you ever blown e-cig vapour into an empty bottle, like a beer bottle? It sure hangs around in there for ages...is it different in our lungs? Sure hope so!

Actually, all of the ingredients have been approved by the FDA. Its their use in a PV they take issue with.

PG is not bio-cumulative.


We've gone through all these questions long before, I'd recommend checking out the stickies in the health section

Excuse me - this is the health section which invites one to "discuss any side effects, worries etc". I find your attitude somewhat baffling. Unless you are a scientist with knowledge other than what you glean from the internet, I think you should stop assuming that you know everything.
