Ok, so i'm doing a search and what do i see in the News section? "E Cigarettes May Be More Effective Than Swine Flu Vaccine". Now you know I have to read this. What? Talk about outrageous health claims. Holy Swine Flu Batman!
As I expected, this press release published in the Earth Times is referring to the study in 1942 conducted by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson of the University of Chicago's Billings Hospital. He was studying the effects Propylene Glycol might have as a germicide. It's really a fascinating study which is being pointed at more and more lately by electronic cigarette supporters. While it's old and the FDA probably doesn't consider it valid research and anti smoking activists just roll their eyes, it is interesting to look at. I'll have to do a more in depth analysis of the entire study sometime.
