Did you see this on page three?

‘Propylene glycol’ was listed in Lorillard’s documents in 1981,
and one of its major pharmacological effects was ‘appetite
depressant’ (Bates no. 88698405/8407).

Yes. I read all the materials before posting it. I just thought it is important information.

I'm just presenting the information in an unbiased manner. However regarding PG- I have a choice about that

Well, I can't say the PG has helped me in that regard........then again, neither has aging.

I'm for whatever works. If PG helps I'll take a bath in the stuff. When I tried to quit smoking I gained 20 lbs and didn't quit. Of course I was buying 1 lb bags of Twizzlers for something to chew on. I haven't gained weight at all since I started vaping.
