The Safety of Cinnamon e-liquid?

[dkeller717]

Has anyone recently heard that cinnamon flavors of e-liquid could be unhealthy? I stumbled across something saying that a test was done that said so, but then the test was reported as not credible. A couple vendors have removed cinnamon from their sites. That is the part that has me confused. I just got some cinnamon and want to try it in my glass clearo, but want to make sure first.

See reddit for more info, apparently that flavor has 4 carcinogens and is a big no-no

It doesn't look like any kind of credible study was actually done.
Unless my Google skills have failed me.. this sounds like very suspect misinformation.

Cheap cinnamon contains coumarin, which is allowed in foodstuffs in very low quantities only because it is toxic in higher doses.
Some people also react allergic to cinnamon.
But that refers to the spice in its original form.

So unless it's known for sure what actually went into creating the cinnamon flavour it's easy to speculate...

But what's a little cinnamon ? As far as ANTZ go, we're all hooked on anti-freeze anyway

"Coumarin is still used as a legal flavorant in the tobacco industry, particularly for sweet pipe tobacco."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coumarin read all about it

I think people were concerned about the hot cinnamon as in "red hots" and not the kind in cinnamon roll for instance. As I recall there was the usual panic and rush to judgment that was pretty much rescinded. Anyway, the FDA has controlled cinnamon for many years and, besides, what we get in flavoring is synthetic and not the real thing. I also think this cinnamon thing is confused with the courmarin control in real vanilla.

And, yeh, don't want to give the ANTZ more fodder for their propaganda machines or to feel responsible for harming their health. My blood pressure is super good since I started vaping but I do have compassion for those who get all emotional and let theirs spike.

Here is a link that has more information on the debate and why the study has been discounted
Cinnamon flavours in e-cigarettes: how inappropriate research can misinform the public and the (amateur) professionals

That article has hot links to both the flawed study and one by Dr Farsalinos.

cinnamon is an irritant regarless, just could be worse for some than others. That being said, cinnamon is one of my fav e liquid flavors
