List of Additives in Cigarettes



After reading this list along with the supporting links I think I am scared as a 20+ years smoker ewwwww.

 

[Mary Kay]

How many times did we read that stuff when we were smoking and say..get a grip people! It's just scare tactics..that stuff really isn't in our beloved smokes! Denial!
Now we should be scared? What good does it do to dwell on it, we got something or didn't. The point is, we must remind ourselves to not slip back.
We are getting well away from it and thank Goodness for it!

The link at the bottom of this post takes you to a web page I created(that you can also print out) with links to some of the best health and harm reduction information available about vaping. Great reference material. Easy to open the .pdf and print for giving to people looking into making the shift away from tobacco.

Blssssngs,
Kathy

30 years of smoking....
Vaporized by my ScrewDriver!

Actually I never once looked in all the years I smoked...I knew they were bad for me I just did not want to know how bad for me. I was the ostrich with my head in the sand.


Its like the fast food thing you know its bad for you but you did not know how bad until they started putting calorie counts on them.

I actually only looked this up tonight because I have a friend who is worried I am going to kill myself with Ecigs. According to this list I have already done a damn good job of it.

 

[Mary Kay]

You mean you have done a good job of it with cigs or e-cigs? Gotta love the nay sayers. First it was being on you about cigs..now E-cigs. They never look at the cake and coke or the BBQ and beer and say "Hey! I am killing myself with this stuff too!

 

[Crankyfuzz]

Sorry Marykay I should have been more clear I had meant I had already done a damn good job of it with all the analogs I smoked over the years. My friend thinks that ecigs are dangerous because of what he has seen in the media and not from any actual proof so I went on a search tonight to prove that analogs were more dangerous then me using an ecig could ever be.



Edit: I know I seen one somewhere about a toxicology report done on Juice but cant seem to remember where.

 

[RKayne]

Did you note: Propylene Glycol upon that list. There is nothing to say that what we are using is bad. Period.

All I can say is HA. And I am going to print out that list, and one about our e-cigs to take to my doc this Friday...to get more BP pills. And probably be lowered. Just a few days and My Heart is slower...and I can breath better...omg. I went to the grocers earlier and I SWEAR I could smell things in CANS. And I didn't have a bad smeller, lol.

I noticed that PG was in one of my vitamins! If it was so horrible, what's it doing in vitamins?

 

[Crankyfuzz]

I found it in my lotion, and toothpaste.

PG and VG are also the 2 main ingredients in KY Liquid . I was thinking of making up some home brewed flavored lube just for grins since I already have all the supplies in my DIY kit. (Hope this isn't too naughty for the Women's room )

If anyone is interested - I've updated both the web page and the printable .pdf to include links to info on 'nicotine' withdrawal symptoms. (Keep in mind no one has separated out withdrawal from all the other poisons in ciggies)

and

a link to a page on researching the medical uses of nicotine.

Check them out if you want - print a copy to share with anyone interested.
The link is at the bottom of every post I make.
And HERE:
Alternative to Smoking?

Blsssngs,

Leave it to a bunch of women to go from chemicals in cigarettes to lubes. See now, it makes perfect sense to me how that happens! I have just shipped off a gigantic box of Janty Sticks, 901's, and a pint of juice and some of my best measuring tools to my daughter and BF, so now have to shoppe, again.
How many of you can think of your Mother as a nicotine juice distributor/PV supplier. My we have come a long way.
My husband has been very leerily watching me make some of my "recipe". He thinks I could be hurting myself! (Ingredients: 4 of them. VG. Tobacco extract. Caramel. Hazelnut.) Had a cookie, lately? Chew (snus) in your mouth, eating a cookie. Same things. (Look of disbelief.)
I said, look at a pack of cigarettes again, what do you see there???? (Look of WT_?) Geez, get with the program for heaven's sake. He did. The Andy Griffith program. Mayberry RFD.
I showed him that list. It didn't register. Probably because no one but a genetic scientist can either pronounce the names or know where to buy them. Or what they do. So the lubes? Don't know as that would solve my problem either!! In fact, I'll just forget that whole thing. I have laundry to put away anyhow. So people can find their underwear without any added stress.
Soup, thanks, have added that one to my "Links to Keep" folder! Some excellent reading there, nice work.
