I have cinnamon roll juice sitting in my backup closet as it caused throat irritation as well as acid drip in my stomach. I can't eat much cinnamon either due to stomach upset. After I realized I was back to a smoker's wheeze vaping, I quit inhaling. Looking back over that decision, I was vaping Pecan Roll which has small amounts of cinnamon in it I'm pretty sure. But, its inconsequential to me now as I'm finding I enjoy vaping without lung inhaling. People, especially noobs, will start out inhaling and might continue inhaling but I really do believe its at their own risk as we really don't know what these flavorings do to lung tissues. The digestive tract has built in defenses that they don't have. Each animal has a particular set of digestive defenses... ie: a dog can eat way more bacteria as in garbage and bones that would harm me. When my lungs start forming mucous to wall off and expel something, I figure my body is telling me something. Anyway, I did so much damage to my lungs smoking that I'm playing it safe now. Also, re MBV, many of us seek to protect ourselves the best we can. Companies are entities composed of living/breathing human beings. They seek to protect themselves too. Nothing wrong with that at all.

So this is just a coincidence that government departments are looking at banning flavourings for e liquids.

I don't know what the most popular flavours are in the vaping community. I mean what flavours sell the most ?. Are those the ones being singled out as toxic ?. Is this the kind of thing that will damage the industry ?. Slowly taking it apart bit by bit !.

I think you can count on the FDA to use this. They don't know what is in the our but they will know there is cinnamon.

For those of you who like original sources, here is the full report:
http://ge.tt/91uE2Jy/v/0?c

As far as the big tobacco/big pharma connections, nothing direct, though it's easy enough to hide such connections.

The study was funded by California's Tobbacco-Related Disease Research Program: TRDRP Home Page

They describe themselves as "one of three state agencies that work together towards the vision of a tobacco-free California", and their first Core Value is "A commitment to… Tobacco-related science of highest quality and potential impact" [emphasis added]

So it is a government agency that wants to most effectively scare people off of tobacco. Of course, when your funding comes from a cigarette tax (5 cents per pack), there is an understandable desire to move that tax income to other products in the same market. And what better way to get that tax than by maximizing the "potential impact" of research.

I don't see any direct "Pfizer paid for this" kind of links- just the typical government bureaucracy looking for additional funding sources. I do find their requirement of "PRIOR TO FUNDING grant awardees must: Modify titles and lay abstracts, if requested" to at least rhyme with propaganda, even if that is a common practice.

Oh so relieved that my initial impression was correct and can mix up the red hot cinnamon, Cinnamon cookie, cinnamon Danish, and plain old cinnamon extracts that are arriving with my DIY supply order today. I don't vape a lot of cinnamon, just use a bit in most my recipes.

I also use cinnamon in quite a few recipes for food too. So guess you could say I'm a thrill seeker. lmao.

Lol (not laughing at you, just the irony of it all) dig a little deeper and the pharma funds will become apparent. Their scientific advisory committee consists of someone from each of the following; the American Lung Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, the Lung Cancer Alliance, and three professors from college medical programs which are typically well known for receiving grants and perks from big pharma. These people don't get paid for sitting on TRDRP's committee, but then, they don't have to.
