Did you happen to notice that the date on the link is Monday, November 16, 1942? Is that a typo or did the study happen that long ago?

No I didn't catch the date, but it almost has to be a typo since e-cigs are mentioned in the end of the article. I just remember hearing someone else say something similar then saw this article pop up on Facebook.

I found what I was looking for. This is a really old thread, I knew this story sounded familiar. The date is correct. I am glad that you found this again, I think it is important to know.

The use of PG in vaporisers is found in quite a few articles. It and VG are moisturizer additives used in food and cosmetics so it would make sense they would aid in moisturizing the air to relieving irritations in the airways.
