Yes, anti-microbial means it kills microbes, which includes germs, viruses, bacteria, and fungus.The TIME article is for 1942? A bit out of date thereyou can find newer information where hospitals use it as an anti-bacterial
I am one month today, analog free! Yay me I developed a sore throat last Wednesday and had laryngitis up until yesterday. (I know my husband was secretly enjoying the absence of my car-Reba-concerts)....It was only the second time, in my life, that I have ever had laryngitis. I have no idea if it was related to vaping, since I seem now to have developed a sinus infection.
I can only attest to certain things about quitting analogs. Overall, I do feel better. Mentally, I am patting myself for not smoking anymore. I don't feel out-of-my-mind since quitting the stinkies, vaping keeps me satisfied and relaxed. I am glad not to have the smell, the yuckiness of smoking. Maybe this recent "bout" is just my body's way of getting rid of the yuck of cigs?

I'm at day 8 and the last few days I've had a sore throat and an irritation in my mouth. The latter resolved, but this morning the throat was still sore.
I'm betting it's either my body not knowing what to do without all the space CO2 or maybe I just got a touch of a cold at the same time.
Either way, it's better than the morning cough fest from smoking.

It's going to be weird after stopping tobacco. It wasn't until month four that I felt like I was past dry mouth. My mouth adapted somehow.
My water drinking habits have improved but now I can vape all day without water. I do so about once a week. I have gone as long as two days on caffeine or sugared drinks. They are usually esspreso and chai latte. I don't care for soda.
I don't agree with you.
I haven't seen any studies that show that nicotine is a health risk. Perhaps in very high amounts, but not in the amounts most of us are getting.
I could be wrong, but why do you think nicotine is a health risk?
It's linked to heart disease, and suspected of being carcinogenic depending who you ask - though most of the evidence for the latter seems to be in vitro.
The stuff about Alzheimer's is mixed - from what I've read it improves symptoms, but may protect or be a risk factor depending on the study.
Another one not mentioned is some studies suggest it improves hearing, at least in the short term...

Smoking, yes... but nicotine?
Nicotine, being a stimulant, is not good for someone with heart disease.
Neither is caffeine.
Hmm... You may be right actually.
Seems there's an excess mortality risk for people who already have heart disease, but the link to actually causing it is highly disputed. There are a few studies saying it's a risk, but they seem to be in the minority.

From my 'not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination' background.... Nicotine may not be 100% safe, but what's REALLY bad is the delivery system most folks get nicotine. Chew? Snuff? Cigarettes? I mean it's a safe bet that lighting something on fire and sucking in the smoke = bad.
If ALL you're getting is nicotine (without tar, and a thousand other poisons) then I'd say you're way ahead of the curve health-wise.

just a thought
if vaping due to pg dehydrates you would this help people with water retention problems??

I was wondering earlier about the possibility of how nicotine may act as an analgesic/pain reliever. Anyone know anything about this or have any experience to share?
I can attest to nicotine helping my focus. Also my moods seem to be a lot better now that I am vaping (I started in order to prevent a relapse with stinkies.. had been quit quite a while) and sorry for any TMI but it's valid - my severe PMS symptoms were less than half recently! That's HUGE for me.
Oh, also I seem to feel a lot more rested during the day. Even if I don't get as much sleep as I'd like, I just feel really rested. I have noticed my allergies and sinuses have been much better and I just wonder if it's a matter of breathing better at night. Even with my daily Allegra my sinuses still get crappy but I've felt really good even with a majorly high pollen spring!
I will be keeping up with this thread!

no shyt, this just turned nic into a miracle pill!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
Yes, and in particular fundamental nerve pain, which is very hard to treat without mind-altering opiates. I had Guillain-Barre syndrome about 18 years ago. It is rapid onset peripheral nerve inflammation and demyelination, generally leading to extensive paralysis for a few weeks, and then slow, often very painful, recovery and nerve regeneration. The pain was crazy horrific (large suicide rate of GBS victims), and at the time my brother was doing AD research with a pharma company, studying nicotine effects on AD rats (yes, nicotine improves AD, this is well known now), and he suggested I try smoking tobacco. It worked immediately and very well, but it got me hooked on smoking...at least I could function. Now I vape, and thank God it is available. Works very well in my experience. Lots of studies support this and explain this action in terms of particular nicotinic receptors. Does not work for all pain, but this particular fundamental nerve pain is well-treated with nic. Most of the damage with me is in my wrists and hands, and so typing can be a real problem...especially for me since I do computational chemistry and I am on computers a LOT. Vaping nic allowed me to finish my PhD, write my thesis, write many research articles, and now I continue my research and keep a very vigorous schedule professionally. I no longer have to pull out the big drug guns if pain sets in, and this happens very infrequently now.
Nicotine is also effective with Crohn's disease symptoms, and I have this too. Interestingly, SMOKING makes these symptoms worse, but nicotine helps them. Many CD patients are put on the patch during flare ups. Vaping helps me a lot, and I've had less flareups since swtiching from smoking to vaping.
Compared to these health issues, I consider the added mental focus and energy a luxury, sort of like caffeine. Very nice, but not medically important.
Additionally, there is no known disease profile from nicotine alone, without smoking. This point was brought up many times by pharma scientists at the FDA hearing on NRT usage back in December. The FDA never argued this point, as there are no studies to refute this claim, and many studies that support it. Recently, Dr. Farsolinos, a Greek cardiologist, did studies showing there is no damage or negative effect on heart cells from directly applied 11 mg vapor. In fact the heart cells thrived. Cigarette smoke, OTOH, killed most of them. Nicotine is very benign, and also very beneficial for many conditions. The list is long on these: MS, Parkinsons, ALS, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, GBS, on and on.
