Rare "Healthy" Smokers Lungs Explained

Bruce66423 writes: New research suggests that a portion of the population suffers few problems from smoking because their genes enable the smoke's effects to be overcome. The Medical Research Council reports: "The new findings, which used the first analyses of genetic data from participants in UK Biobank, may one day help scientists develop better treatments for diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a collection of life-threatening lung disorders affecting almost one million people in the UK. The findings could also help improve interventions aimed at helping smokers to give up."

They contain,

food grade vegetable glycerin
food grade propylene glycol
nicotine
food grade Flavoring agents

Some people will use lab grade which just designates the purity of the substance.

Many point to the flavoring agents as the unknown in the mix. Most are simple essential oils extracted from the plant to provide flavoring. For example, a cool mint e-cig juice will contain a spearmint essential oil.

In most cases, finding out what is in the juice is as simple as reading the list of ingredients on the bottle or the makers website.

All of the ones I have seen stick to stuff that is consumed by people regularly. They dont want the risks of using something that is not food safe.

Spare me. "Medical marijuana" is in almost all cases nothing more than a fig leaf to cover people who want to get high

Tell that to the families with children with epilepsy being successfully treated for seizures and other symptoms using cannabis oil. Your information is extremely prejudiced, and out of date. There are many people with debilitating diseases and conditions that cannabis can provide treatment or relief from.
