Propylene glycol? That doesn't sound good: https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/19870.htm https://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/19870.htm
>"Skin: In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water."
>"Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration."
I remember in the mid-1990's, there were many articles pointing the finger at propylene glycol in personal care products for increasing cancer rates. Even to this day I use Thai salt for deodorant as I don't want to be slathering propylene glycol all over me.
I quick google search for 'propylene glycol' doesn't turn up too much for health risks. But still, I don't want the stuff touching, and I wouldn't want it in my lungs either....
Edit: and to the down voters, I am not anti-vape or anti tobacco. I think both are pretty cool. But as a neat freak, I don't want all my stuff smelling like smoke. And as a health conscious person, I don't want my last days on this earth ending with me on a hospital bed gasping for air from a failed respiratory system.

- rory096 11y agoWhy did you quote the generic 'first aid measures' section? The 'health effects' section is far less alarming: >Skin: May be absorbed through damaged or abraded skin in harmful amounts. Allergic reactions have been reported. A single prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts. Prolonged contact is essentially non-irritating to skin. Repeated exposures may cause problems. Negative results have consistently been obtained in guinea pigs studies for sensitization. 1,2-Propylene glycol is not considered an occupational skin sensitizer. (CHEMINFO) >Inhalation: Low hazard for usual industrial handling. Inhalation of a mist of this material may cause respiratory tract irritation. Material has a low vapor pressure at room temperature, so exposure to vapor is not likely.
- esaym 11y agoTo each their own I guess. Those sound even worse personally. "Inhalation: Low hazard for usual industrial handling." <- Industrial handling probably doesn't include smoking it....
