PG vapor germicidal properties

[Kaiser Bob]

Anyone studying this? Anything to add to the pro column is good. If vapor proved to sanitize air it would weaken the case for indoor bans.

there was an article floating around the CASAA facebook about PG- if I remember correctly, hospitals pump it into the air for disinfectant(?) purposes.

Totally non-scientific anecdotal evidence, but I haven't had a cold or flu since I started vaping. Many others here have reported the same ...

I'm still surrounded at work by sniffling wheezing slobs who sneeze without any attempt to spare others. Several times in the past year I've had early symptoms that disappeared overnight ...

Only two things have changed, I'm not smoking, and I'm vaping PG ...

Good enough to convince this hard-headed engineer ...

It has been used in multiple applications - from hospitals to movie theaters - anywhere people congregate... to reduce the risk of airborne bacterial transmission. Aside from trace nicotine content - standing next to a vaper might be safer than NOT standing next to one. LMAO

...and it's the primary ingredient in every inhaler on the market, from Asthma to COPD.

That's what I was getting at. A comparison to cologne comes up often when talking about second hand vape, but vapor is potentially better for you than random VOCs. Don't think anyone has actually analyzed second hand vapor in that way though.
