Interesting article on potential benefits of PG

[Brian Stevens]

Just read this article on the Reddit ecig sub forum. I found it interesting and thought I'd share it here.


Propylene glycol in e cigarettes might keep us healthy, says researchers

I've read before that some hospitals send propylene glycol through the vent systems because it is very good at killing germs.

hmmm very interesting, however, I'm sure this will not stop the FDA... Nothing does

Thanks, Brian. I've heard this before, but it just empasizes it again.

If PG really can prevent pneumoinia that in itself would be a big lifesaver !

However, all this work was done over 50 years ago, so I wonder why nobody has followed up
with more studies. For example, why aren't they having everyone with pneumonia inhale PG ?
Or do they ? If not, why not ? We may be missing something.

These were my thoughts exactly, after reading the article. Also if PG can indeed prevent certain illnesses this has to be just the tip of the iceberg. I know one thing is for sure... I'm sure happy I'm inhaling PG rather than nasty tar and carbon monoxide!

I hate to say it, but something that's too effective is generally not brought into the mainstream. No money in that.
