      Then you know wrong, they were studied thoroughly for inhalation too, and were approved and used in kindergartens to prevent respiratory diseases. They are still used in asthma inhalers, and in stage fog machines in rooms crammed with people.
      None of the branches that use these compounds very heavily have had problems, and they are still used.

      The fact that you are so heavily upvoted just shows that people here are extremely ignorant about the issue, but still feel their ignorant opinion has value.

      Nope, PolyEtheleneGlycol (PG) is the carrier in Ventolin inhalers. Glycerine (VG) is something the body knows how to handle because it’s the chemical backbone of triglyceride, the most common form of human fat. VG and PG are the usual bases in ejuice.

      Valid point for the majority of flavours though (maybe 1-5% by volume), although mint is likely fine and used in some medical contexts and for some reason tobacco flavour is prescribed in Australia, probably because it’s disgusting.

        Don’t forget the massive fog machines, that are allowed indoor in crowded rooms, because of how safe they are.
