The vapour is primarily/exclusively propylene glycol. Stating that it's the active ingredient in a household cleaner is a bit disingenious, I think. Propylene Glycol is considered "GRAS" (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. It is used as a solvent, as well as in aircraft de-icing fluid... As well as a food additive, in beauty product applications, and as part of many pharmaceuticals for drugs which are insoluble in water. Including in injectable drugs. (Yes, you can mainline this stuff.) It's safe to eat and inject, it's non-irritating to skin, in rat studies where rats were fed as much as 5% PG in their food for 104 weeks no ill effects were observed. It shows no evidence of being a carcinogen or genotoxic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol#Humans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol#Humans

You are making blaming statements by saying my statement is disingenuous. My statement is fair given that the vapor is not 'water vapor' as claimed above. It could also be considered supportive given it's in a popular AIR FRESHENER that is approved for US use. Further, I'm a daily e-cig user, so I'm definitely not against it. You and evilduck brought the negative context to my comment - not me. Vote accordingly.

  Bullshit. What's the point of bringing up that it's used on Febreeze rather than the medical or food-based usages? Your point was very clearly intended to scare people because it's used in cleaning products.

    More blaming statements. My point has already been explained by saying what my intent was - to illustrate there was more than water vapor in the juice (true) and that ingredient was in something we use as an air freshener (also true). If you chose to not believe me, that's on you - I don't fucking care one way or the other. BTW, my wife pointed out to me yesterday that Febreze is not on the aisle with cleaning products at the market - they are located on the fragrance aisle with candles. Here's a link at Walmart showing the same logic: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Febreze-Air-Effects-Linen-Sky-Air-Freshener-2-Count-9.7-oz-each/14711744 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Febreze-Air-Effects-Linen-Sky-Air-.... It's categorized as an air freshener. Febreze is evidently not considered a cleaning product by those who sell it.
