Propylene Glycol in the Electronic Cigarette

The Electronic Cigarette Liquid contains around seven chemicals.

Liquids vary but most contain three major chemicals:

Nicotine
Glycerin
Propylene Glycol

Nicotine is classified as Toxic if inhaled, comes into contact with the skin or swallowed.
Most people do not know this because smokers don’t die after smoking one cigarette however a bottle of nicotine can be lethal.

Glycerin or Glycerol is Non Hazardous. It is a component of fat or oil and is an ingredient that helps to balance or maintain moisture levels.

Propylene Glycol is presently listed as not having any health hazards however there is many a debate on this chemical. in tooth paste shampoo and soaps. Propylene Glycol is also found in many of the foods we eat every day as it is used in food colouring and flavours. It is used as a moisturiser in medicines, cosmetics, mouth wash, and tobacco products.

Propylene Glycol (PG) is found to provoke allergic reactions in patients with eczema and other skin allergies. Although testing found no evidence of cancer causing substances, it is the amount of PG consumed in any given day that needs to be monitored.

It is important to do your research on the Electronic Cigarette Liquids you buy. Propylene Glycol must be no more than 70% of the contents of the liquid.

Studies say you should stay below about 1800 mg for a 75kg person per day.
