There has been a lot of warnings and press releases produced by the FDA stating that electronic cigarettes are harmful because they use propylene glycol in the cartridges to produce the vapor which is also used in antifreeze and therefore electronic cigarettes must be harmful.
Although propylene glycol is one of the primary agents in some antifreeze products, this brand or type of antifreeze is produced with propylene glycol to be labeled as a “non-toxic” antifreeze, so that they may be used in food-processing systems, water pipes for homes and many other applications where typical antifreeze with ethylene glycol can’t be used.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be “generally recognized as safe” for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke.
