Study suggesting PG based juices could ward off respiratory infection?

Hey all, just came across this article from a 1942 edition of time magazine. PG acted as a successful atmosphere germicide in protecting lab mice from influenza. As a scientist I wish I could find the original published study to examine myself, as you never trust the media to analyze primary literature for you. Ill keep my eye out...

It also mentions the possibility of PG buildup in the lungs from long-term vapor exposure, something I've worried about myself and would love to see further study done on.

Interesting, I just recently came down sick, and I rarely get sick. I have been vaping for about 1.5 months and wonder if my chain vaping may have something to do with this PG buildup.

Honestly I do chain vape. And although I realize that PG is in inhalers and all, nobody uses an inhaler as constantly as use my PV.

ive been vaping for a long time now. no adverse effects, got sick 1 time in the past year. i think the pg would have done something to me by now, but i feel 100% better since i switched.

I actually immediately did some further research and came up with some studies that I describe in this thread.

This is really interesting...I used to get 2-3 sinus infections/upper resp. infections a year. Since I have started vaping (almost a year now) I have not had one!
