I started researching this and posted it in a vendor thread. Updated it recently and thought it might be better here. This listing is by no means complete but it's as complete as I can get today. Also at the end of the post is some interesting info on DEG.

What's in A Cigarette?
Reposted from About.com


"Cigarettes contain thousands of chemicals. Up to 600 additives and flavorings may be in a single cigarette. But this is as nothing when we consider the 4000 chemicals that are released when a cigarette is smoked.
Nicotine
Nicotine is the main addictive ingredient in tobacco. It is readily absorbed into the blood and gives a hit (a rush) to the brain in about 10 seconds. Nicotine produces chemicals in the brain called dopamine. It is the regular hits of nicotine that the brain comes to expect and when people quit it causes withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is a stimulant that increases the heart rate and blood pressure - this is partly a sign that the body is trying to absorb more oxygen.
Acetone
That’s the stuff used as a solvent to remove nail varnish.
Ammonia
Ammonia speeds up the delivery of the nicotine. It freebases the nicotine in the same way as a crack user takes ........
Tar
Tar is deposited into the lungs every time a person inhales. Smoking 20 or more cigarettes a day deposits 1 to 1.5 pounds into the lungs every year
Benzene
Used as a solvent in fuel & dyes. Known to cause cancer.
Cadmium
Used to make batteries, cadmium is known to cause kidney damage. It increases the risk of developing lung cancer.
Carbon monoxide
This is the same chemical pushed out by cars. It prevents the blood carrying oxygen around the body. A heavy smoker’s ability to carry oxygen around the body is reduced by up to 15%.
Hydrogen Cyanide
Yet another gas that reduces the body’s ability to carry oxygen around the body.
Pyridine
Pyridine is a central nervous system depressant that boosts the effect of smoking.

and for those of you fond of very long lists, here's a list of the others

OK that's up to the P's and my fingers are tired from all of that cut and pasting. Plus that's where the list ends.





What's in an E-cig:

Nicotine
Propylene Glycol
Vegetable Glycol
DiHydrogenMonOxide (H2O)
Natural and artificial flavors.

Think there's nothing in cigarettes besides tobacco? Think again. "All Natural" doesn't by any means mean "All Tobacco". The Federal Trade Commission tested the smoke that comes from burning cigarettes and they found more than 5,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. More than 40 of those cigarette ingredients are known to be human carcinogens - that means they cause cancer - not just in animals, but in humans too.

As if this isn’t a reason to Quit Smoking! Most cigarette ingredients can cause long-lasting harm to most of your bodily organs and provide the best reasons to quit smoking. If you’ve taken a few moments to glance through this quit smoking portal, you’ll encounter reason after reason to quit smoking from addiction to odor to long-lasting ill health effects such as cancer, oxygen deprivation, asthma, irritations, infections and fetus impairment. Now that you know the effects of smoking, we thought you’d like to know the cigarette ingredients responsible for causing those effects.

In addition to tobacco, which contains nicotine, the following 599 ingredients have been identified in tobacco industry documents as being added to tobacco in the manufacturing of cigarettes by the five major American cigarette manufacturing companies. While some of these chemicals, such as sugars, vanilla extract, prune juice, and vinegar, are generally recognized as safe when used in food products, all produce numerous additional chemical compounds when burned. None, probably, is more deadly than nicotine, however.

Trying to convince someone to quit? Show them this list, or better yet, print it out and give it to them - maybe once they see all of the junk that they're putting into their bodies each time they smoke a cigarette, they'll reconsider.

Diethylene Glycol

Other Names for DEG include:

02334 (CA DPR Chem Code Text)
02334 (CA DPR Chem Code)
111-46-6 (CAS number)
111466 (CAS number without hyphens)
2334 (CA DPR Chem Code)

338200 (US EPA PC Code Text)
338200 (US EPA PC Code)
Diethylene glycol
Diethyleneglycol
Ethanol, 2
2'-oxybis-

While the
FDA reported finding 1% DEG in one of the 12 samples tested I am comfortable saying that this may have been an aberration. Here are some links with more information on DEG:

Here is the MSDS from the pesticides database

Here is an interesting article from search.com

DEG info from the Chemical Book

Australian report on DEG

US Code of Federal Regulations on Acceptable levels of Diethylene Glycol in food additives

apparently it is acceptable to have

Quote:
no more than 0.2 percent total by weight of ethylene and diethylene glycols when tested by the analytical methods prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section.

Nice!
I used to have a similar list with common household names I slapped together when someone was leaving nasty notes in my apartment doors telling the smokers not to smoke outside the door.
When you put those (like the acetone) in perspective with common products we use today it's amazing what we used to put into our bodies. You would look at mothballs, or nail polish remover any day and say no way I would inhale/injest that. Yet we did.

Thanks guys for E-cigs! Glad to say I've been Nail polish remover free for 1 month now! hehehehehe
