In reply to the discussion: Old tobacco playbook gets new use by e-cigarettes [View all]Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)4. Antifreeze?
They containe nicotine and propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. It doesn't contain anti-freeze. HOWEVER, PG is IN antifreeze, as well as oral pharmaceuticals, Corexit, "Fog Juice" (for fog machines), and many other things. It's generally considered to be safe. When Antifreeze is made from PG, it is labeled as "Non-Toxic Antifreeze", however, this is NOT the antifreeze we use in vehicles. It's mostly used in the food industry for cooling equipment.
Also, E-Cigs don't have smoke. It's pure vapor. I cup mine as well. It helps to get a better draw, as most E-Cigs have a couple carburator holes, and don't give you the same draw as "analog" cigs.

If they were talking about "vaping" they were not talking about e-cigarettes

The amount of cast off nicotine from e-cigarettes is likely negligible.

To spread lies about something that is so beneficial is truly reprehensible.
