Propylene glycol

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Propylene glycol is an ingredient in E-Cigarette liquid, including the Magic Puffer Starter Kit. It creates the “smoke” that you exhale. If you keep up with E-Cigarette news and controversy you may see this ingredient mentioned as being an ingredient in anti-freeze. This is being used to create a scare around e-cigarettes in an effort to slowly ban them. Now, I am not going to be making any health claims as to Propylene glycol or an e-cigarette in general. I feel people are responsible enough to make an informed choice on using these products. I do happen to be someone who reads ingredient labels a frequently, and have come up with a short list of other products that contain Propylene glycol.

A few weeks ago I was feeding my in-laws dog a treat, called Pup-peroni, and while reading the list saw Propylene glycol listed under it. So I wondered what else do we commonly use that has propylene glycol from common household items.
