Yeah, we can tell...
Can't I have strong opinions about things that do not affect me whatsoever? I thought that was what made this place special?

You do know that propylene glycol is a form of antifreeze dont you.
If I may ...
Toxic Substances Portal
Propylene Glycol
CAS ID #: 57-55-6
Affected Organ Systems: Dermal (Skin), Renal (Urinary System or Kidneys), Respiratory (From the Nose to the Lungs)
Summary: Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. Propylene glycol is also used to make polyester compounds, and as a base for deicing solutions. Propylene glycol is used by the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries as an antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as an additive that is “generally recognized as safe” for use in food. It is used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics, or food products. It is a solvent for food colors and flavors, and in the paint and plastics industries. Propylene glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions. Other names for propylene glycol are 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propanediol, methyl glycol, and trimethyl glycol. Propylene glycol is clear, colorless, slightly syrupy liquid at room temperature. It may exist in air in the vapor form, although propylene glycol must be heated or briskly shaken to produce a vapor. Propylene glycol is practically odorless and tasteless.
Yup, pretty smart to inhale synthetic chemicals by burning/heating them into human lung tissue.
Of course the big push now is that children might do it, so now it must be taxed and banned for the children.
..while pot is being legalized and mainstreamed.
Posted about that in the other thread, but I will post here as well. One attribute of PG Is that it makes a decent environmentally safe antifreeze. Of course the term antifreeze means to prevent freezing, and it is used in any system where an environmental hazard may develop from any leak. Food storage cooling, RVs, boats etc. It is generally pink in color and non toxic to animals and humans. This of course should not be confused with ethylene glycol which is the toxic substance used in standard automotive antifreeze solutions.
Being an antifreeze is one attribute of the substance, and what is used for the manufacturing of E-Liquid is not the industrial spec stuff used in antifreeze. USP kosher is what is used.
Don't breath when you drive then. The amount of expelled hydrocarbons from vehicles is 100x worse than anything vaporized (heated to boiling temp) PG can do to you. Of course at that extent don't use an asthma inhaler either as the primary carrier is propylene glycol. Oh and hospitals also use it as an aerosol in the ventilation systems to help keep airborne bacteria from spreading.
On another note I don't use much PG. I use max VG or vegetable glycerin liquid. PG is an excellent flavor carrier and works well with absorbing the nicotine used. It may contribute to about 10-15% of the total solution.
Also want to add that any time you breathe in the fog from a fog machine, the PG/water solution is atomized in the same manner as the operation of a person vaporizer. So I guess you should stay away from any haunted houses around hollowed time. This was actually studied for stage actors, there was no effects noticed on lung tissue or breathing function after long term testing.

My question is will they make the hood rats stop smoking weed on the beach and Boardwalk?
Do vapers litter the place up like smokers do with all those thousands of filters laying everywhere?

No side effects yet but then again they thought the same thing about asbestos and cigaretts if Im not mistaken.
Lets hope not for all the vapors out there.

Smokers are made to feel like the worst people on earth. When I go outside to light up, there is always someone who gives you that HOW DARE YOU look. Just wait, it wont be to much longer, the government is going to ban you from smoking in your own home. If they can make businesses do it, were not far behind.

I dont know if its good or bad, dont care much. I dont, and have never smoked but, to each his own....I do think "vapeing" is the stupidist thing to come along in a long time..LOL..
