Due to an abundance of PG floating around in the air, I haven't had a cold or the flu in the last 2 years, 7 months, and 24 days.

well this IS your Jewish mother,,,,,,,,don't forget the chicken soup!

ok, now to be serious, I have a cold NOW,,,,,,,

and although I lost my voice this morning (a tragedy for sure ) any colds I have had since quitting smoking, have been much milder,,,,,,,,no voice, but I am not miserable,,,,,,and I haven't even bothered with cough or cold medicine.

Why does that help stop colds and flus? I have to agree that I've had less colds since I quit smoking 3 years ago. I think I didn't have any last winter.

PG is antibacterial,,,,,,,,,,they often put it in air ducts, etc of hospitals,,,,,,,,,,,,to keep infections down.

Do you remember "Legionnaires disease" that almost decimated the convention business back in the day? Atomizing PG into the ventilation systems of convention centers is how that problem was resolved.
PG is even atomized into the ventilations systems of hospitals to reduce airborne virus and bacteria.
So in essence, every time you blow a big ole cloud of vapor across your hands ... you just washed them.

This is why ECF is awesome. You learn something new everyday. And like I said, I've been on the vape for 3 years now. vape on!

Also....use a Neti-Pot. *1 Vapers might as well rinse their sinuses daily anyways, because vaping can tend to dry them out. Flush all the gunk out of your sinuses before going to bed at night is highly effective. It looks wierd and uncomfortable, but it's not, and after you've used it a couple times, you'll swear by it. Haven't had a flu since I used the neti-pot. Take some echinacea *2 and boost your immune system.

Great info. I'll tell everyone who looks at me funny while vaping that I'm doing them a favor and myself a favor. Yes i'm magnanimous.

That's about the umpteenth time I've heard this recommended. So many people I know love these things. Time to get off the...oh wait... get on the neti pot.
