    I'm confused. I'm an e-juice maker, and considering there are ONLY 3 ingredients (nicotine is optional), where are these "19 carcinogenic ingredients" coming from?? I know EXACTLY what is in the juice I make. Pretty much every e-juice maker in the US uses the same ingredients, and the majority of us get these ingredients from the same US based suppliers.

    The ingredients are 1) propylene glycol, which  is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, used in pharmaceutical and personal care products, is USP certified, and Kosher. Propylene glycol is a solvent in many pharmaceuticals, including oral, injectable and topical formulations, such as for diazepam and lorazepam that are insoluble in water, use propylene glycol as a solvent in their clinical, injectable forms. 2)  Vegetable glycerin metabolizes differently than sugar and is used in low carbohydrate foods for sweetness and moisture. Unlike sugar, glycerin does not contribute to tooth decay. Many household products, including lotions, shampoo, and toothpaste, contain vegetable glycerin. Glycerin is added to these products because it is a humectant; a substance that attracts moisture to the skin. Vegetable glycerin is FDA approved, USP certified, and kosher 3) Flavoring. The flavoring is the same flavoring used by the medical AND food industries and are FDA approved, USP certified, and kosher. Nicotine IS FDA approved and used in most  smoking cessation products. That's it. There is no tobacco or carcinogens in any of this.

    So again I ask, where are these other chemicals coming from? And did you actually do ANY research before writing this garbage piece? As far as health risks, take 5 minutes to do a Google search and you'll find a lot of research that has been released just within the past year, one of which was done by Drexel University that shows no, ZERO, health concerns for second-hand vapor. You might want to actually try doing a little research before spreading false information around.
