Menthol e juice

[CCVapes23]

So I️ watched this vaping documentary and it proved that vaping is better for you than smoking, one thing it said though was that vaping menthol e juice is as bad as smoking menthol cigarettes and that inhaling anything menthol for you is worse for you than vaping say a fruit kind of juice. Is this true ? Cause I️ am still dual using and want to quit and was thinking about getting some naked menthol juice. Thanks!

Menthol is (and is perhaps the only flavoring we use which is) FDA-approved for inhalation.

I've actually never read or heard that. What was the source and did they back up the claim with any long term studies?

I thought not.

It was from bbc miracle or menace. Was a documentary about vaping that came out last year.

Vaping may not be as safe as smokers think, research suggests

Not saying I️ believe this but I️ am curious, read the part about the mice being exposed to menthol e cigs.

Menthol e-cigarettes vs. no e-cigarettes. Where's the study on menthol e-cigarettes vs. non-menthol e-cigarettes?

That's a 2 year old article. Chances are it's one of the studies that ended up dry burning coils.

I sore that as well a while ago. I only vape menthol e juice and have done for years. It's probably not healthy but would of thought it's way better than smoking. Vape on.

My understanding is that menthol has serious issues. It’s not cancer causing but can recrystallize in your lungs so it contributes to things like bronchitis and other pulmonary diseases. Plus you get to occasionally cough up blue which is extra creepy. So basically it’s not great. That said it’s still Still not as bad as menthol cigarettes, or probably even non menthol ones. If what you need to quit smoking is to vape menthol flavors I personally would say do it. Once you’re off the cigarettes you can worry about getting off the menthol, which should be worlds easier to do.

Where did you see it’s approved by fda

If the fact that "it's an ingredient in products" isn't good enough for you, there's always this database of officially-approved inactive ingredients:

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/iig/getiigWEB.cfm

(EDIT: Oh, I guess that just links to the search page. Type in "menthol" and sort by "route"; you should see "inhalation" on the first page of results.)

Odd that a clear/white substance would leave a blue residue, don't you think?

Yep. But I coughed it up. There was red too but I assume that was me.

Just to make this a little easier, Vicks Vaporub. Great to breathe in when you have a chest cold/bronchitis.

If that’s the case then why does the fda say it’s okay to inhale?

Yeah I️ was gonna say I️ remember using Vick’s a lot when I️ was little. If that doesn’t have any ill effects of inhaling menthol? Why would vaping? [emoji848]

Maybe because people don’t use half a bottle a day fo 20 years?

So I went looking for actual research. It apparently has been done
The health effects of menthol cigarettes as compared to non-menthol cigarettes
It’s a real slog though. I couldn’t finish it. Sounded though like additional damage was minor if any in the parts I did get through

Well that’s a relief then. Naked menthol juice is the only thing keeping me off cigs since I smoked menthol
