PG in Cigarettes

[RamShot Rowdy]

I've seen a lot of talk about one of the possible health concerns of e-cigs being the PG used in the liquids. However, I noticed after reading the ingredients list on a carton of Grand Prix Light 100's, propylene glycol is listed as an ingredient in the regular smokes.

So what's the big debate about inhaled PG if it's in real cigarettes too?

I never knew analog cigs had PG until I read that last night.

Just curious.

Yes they do have PG...and a whole bunch of other really bad things you won't find in your ecig. Hmm, which one is worse?

 

[Luv2CUSmile]

WOW! I can't believe you found cigarettes with INGREDIENTS listed!!!
Very cool!

LOL, yeah I was surprised to that they had the ingredients on there...never noticed any with them before.

PG is used in analogs to keep the tobacco fresh as I understand it.

One would have to think that inhaling PG from an ignited analog would have even more of an effect than PG in vapor due to the higher temperature. 'Tis why the whole "we don't know how safe e-cigs are" argument presented by the antis is bogus.

Here is a link showing the 599 additives...

PG comes up on page 3. LOL
