Lets look inside Cigarettes?

[Drummel]

I'm sure this may have come up at some point, but I just got home from work and was looking to find information about SNUS at PM's website.
I found a little ingredient chart.

Ingredients by Brand - Philip Morris USA

I know they don't include everything for reasons far beyond "competition", but it's interesting to note (for those that didn't know) what are some of the main ones.

This definitely false advertising. They are leaving out most of the ingredients.

Try this as a list of ingredients:
599 Ingredients added to Cigarettes

Interesting that PG and Glycerol are in there...some of the very inocuous ingredients people are trying to use as scare tactics when speaking against e-cigs

PG not such a strange ingredient as you think. I used PG in my humidor as it keeps the humidity at 70% constant, added to help keep the smokes fresh and from drying out

But the fact they're in cigarettes doesn't mean they're healthy. Healthier than a cigarette for sure because none of the other chemicals are in there, but being already present in something we know is unhealthy doesn't say a whole lot.

What happened to tobacco?

Yeah that was the main reason I wanted to share the "little" ingredient list. We all know there is a ton more in cigarettes, but as you stated it's found in e-liquids, and yet it's "more dangerous than smoking real cigarettes" when it's in a PV. Go figure.

On a related note...

I had the chance opportunity today. I was at Walmart purchasing some snacks and I was talking to my the regular cashier and she asked me how I liked the flavored SNUS's that I picked up and I started to explain and the Gentleman behind her kind of cut in (he was behind the counter working on pricing and odds n'ends.

Turns out he's a Marketer for Philip Morris and he was interested in my reaction to their SNUS. So I went ahead to explain why I use it (Including the PV experience) He said that Philip Morris has only been using state side studies for about 3 years. I then brought up Swedish SNUS and he said because of their ~30 year usage out there they used lots of their research as grounds to work on a release in American through their company.

Now using this as grounds for a new angle.... Why can't they use the research in China (or anywhere else for that matter) to bring the products related to E-Cigarettes to bare more quickly in the States?
