Medicine: Air Germicide - TIME

My only concern is this article has a timestamp of Monday, Nov. 16, 1942.

I haven't had a cold since I started vaping. Back in my analog days, colds and a yearly bout of bronchitis were the normal.

kilo, you probably aren't aware of this as you seem to be a relatively new vaper (per your ECF join date), but, as a result of those studies from the 1940s, PG has been approved for use, and has been used, as an AIR disinfectant in hospitals, food establishments, major transportation centers, etc, SINCE the 1950s.

Here is the EPA document dated 2006, formally recertifying PG as approved for such uses: http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/reregistration/REDs/propylene_glycol_red.pdf

Good news all around.

Same here. This is the first year I haven't had my annual case of bronchitis. I always coughed from January to February and didn't have a voice from February to March. That had been going on for at least 10 years and I have to admit I didn't miss it when it never showed up this year.

Yup, as I've mentioned before, since PG has been used in air fresheners for decades, we've all been unknowingly vaping for most of our lives.
