if i remember correctly formaldehyde is produced from stinkies as well but at much higher concentrates even if it was from vaping im convinced at a lot smaller concentration anyways as an ex smoker i can deal with that as acceptable risk to myselfJust this weekend, at a scuba diving event, I sat in a little lounge area vaping and about 5 people took turns in either asking or stating about things they've heard or firmly believe...
"That stuff gives you water in your lungs which will kill you" to which I answered "then everyone should stop showering immediately"
"It's unnatural to inhale something other than air" to which I answered "Whenever you go outside, you're inhaling stuff other than air. Close to a road? Hello carbon monoxide. Close to petroleum plant? Sure, that's just pure O2 billowing from those flaming towers."
"You'll get oil on your lungs which can't be absorbed" to which I answered "There is no oil present in e-liquids (at least the one's I know of)"
"You don't know what goes into that juice" to which I answered "Since I buy local DIY juices, I know more about what goes into that juice than I do about what goes into stuff I eat. Every. Day."
"Glycerine might be a food grade product at room temperature, but when you heat it up you have no idea what it becomes" to which I answered "It's a food grade product. Food grade. In fact, might even be medical grade. Do you never heat up your food?"
"Propylene Glycol releases Formaldehyde at vaping temperatures, which will kill you faster than cigarettes" to which I answered "Formaldehyde has only been found at above-normal temps and voltages at which point the vapor would taste like crap and vaping would cease. No normal person will just carry on vaping in that situation."
