Can I vape?

Ingredients of Vape E Liquid =
Propylene Glycol
Vegetable Glycerin
Nictotine
Flavoring

Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are very common food items we all consume. The flavoring agents again we obviously consume those in food items daily.

Smoking involves combustion, which produces thousand of combustion byproducts. Cigarette manufacturers also have been adding chemicals to the final product to make them even more addictive.

So with vaping, you are essentially left with nicotine, which isn't great for you, but it is still far better than smoking.

 

Your exhaust pipe has vapor too. Do you inhale it?
It’s what’s in the vapor.

 

Propylene Glycol is also the main ingredient in low-toxicity antifreeze. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the reason propylene glycol is added to foods is to prevent ice crystal formation.

 

It is quite safe at the doses involved in vaping, foods, medicine. You would have to take large amounts intravenously to get a toxic dose.

From ChatGPT


"Propylene glycol is a synthetic organic compound that belongs to the class of diols, which are also known as glycols. It is chemically represented as C3H8O2 and is sometimes referred to as 1,2-propanediol. Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid with a variety of uses in different industries.

Some common uses of propylene glycol include:

1. Food and Beverage Industry: Propylene glycol is often used as a food additive and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is used as a humectant (moisture-retaining agent) to prevent food from drying out, as well as a carrier for flavors and colors in food and beverages.
   
   
2. Pharmaceuticals: It is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry to dissolve and deliver various active ingredients in drugs and medicinal products.
   
   
3. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Propylene glycol is found in many cosmetic and personal care products, such as lotions, shampoos, and deodorants, where it functions as a humectant and a solvent.
   
   
4. Antifreeze and Deicing Solutions: Propylene glycol is used as a non-toxic alternative to ethylene glycol in antifreeze and deicing solutions, particularly in applications where contact with humans, pets, or wildlife is a concern.
   
   
5. Industrial Applications: It is used as a coolant in various industrial processes, as a heat transfer fluid, and as a component in hydraulic and brake fluids.
   
   
6. Electronic Cigarettes (E-cigarettes): Propylene glycol is one of the main ingredients in e-liquids used in vaping.
   
   
7. Pharmaceuticals and Medicine: It is also used in some medical and pharmaceutical applications, including as a vehicle for oral, injectable, and topical drugs.
   

It's important to note that propylene glycol should not be confused with ethylene glycol, which is a toxic substance often used in automotive antifreeze. Propylene glycol is generally considered safe for consumption and topical use in the concentrations typically found in products. However, some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to it, so it's advisable to read product labels and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about its use in specific products."

 

Everybody likes their own brand.

 

Tobacco producers manipulate the raw materials to produce a uniform product.

I used to dispatch trucks loading denatured alcohol [ethanol] to the big cigarette manufacturers. SDA 4a was 190 proof ethanol, nicotine and methylene blue dye [suspected carcinogen] and was sprayed on the incoming tobacco so the ethanol would bring the nicotine into the leaf and the light blue dye showed which product was processed to taste like a Marlboro, etc.

 

Reguardless, it is my choice. There is no evidence I will develop COPD from vaping.

This 'covid' mentality of vaping affects everyone the same is just wrong.

Biden and his cronies want to ban vaping 'for our safety'.

I'm an American. I make my own choices.

 

Hauled fuel for 3 1/2 years best option is to aire on the side of safety, never smoke while you are unloading or loading fuel no ifs or butts, if the fuel is sealed in the tanker then yes its safe to smoke however I'd still stand at a safe distance when doing so. Most companies these days have a no smoking in cab policy anyway. So you'll have to stop and get out of the truck.

 

The reason, nicotine is so hard to quit is because it stays in your fat cells and seeps into your bloodstream for like 30 days, even after you quit smoking. However, I was able to quit smoking on the first try about 10 years ago using a vape. Then I quit the vape. For me, it was remarkably easy. So for me, that was the positive side of vaping. But if you don’t already vape, why take it up?

 

I was working in a job that involved handling potentially hazardous materials, and I was also curious about vaping during work hours. I decided to play it safe and asked around discreetly before bringing it up with the safety office. Turns out, my workplace had strict regulations against any kind of smoking, including vaping, in and around the work area. It was a bit of a bummer, but it made sense considering the safety risks involved.
