Simple additions - but the liquid effect unknown

Sydsvenskan has commissioned its own analysis of the contents of a few different variations of the controversial rökvätskorna to e-cigarettes . Three bottles per sample sent to the company Eurofins laboratory in Lidköping. According to the analysis are the three liquids what they promise.

The instruction to the laboratory were:

Find out what fluids containing, enter actual nicotine content and examine in particular whether there is any unexpected or dangerous in them.

- We did a content analysis of rökvätskorna and found propylene glycol, glycerin and water. And so the nicotine in two of the samples , says Torbjörn Synnerdahl at Eurofins .

Propylene glycol is the main ingredient in the liquid smoke used in smoke machines in discos . It is irritating to the respiratory tract, according to the World Health Organization 's report on e -cigarettes from last summer.

The ingredient is also found in antifreeze. But have also long been used in asthma medication and is mildly antibacterial . Propylene glycol is an approved food additive.

- It is used in baked goods to get a good consistency and make the product a little juicier . Have you bought a cake , for example , then you take it . Propylene glycol is probably a good solvent to have nicotine in , it dissolves well and distributed . Had it just been the water it was dissolved in , would probably not nicotine have come in a steady stream , says Torbjörn Synnerdahl .

The other main ingredient , glycerol, 's including soap and hand cream . Although it is an approved food additive .

The nicotine content of the allegedly nicotine-free bottle was less than 5 milligrams per kilogram of liquid. In practice nicotine free .

All that Sydsvenskan spoken to during the examination of the growing e - cigarettrenden , whether they want to allow the use in whole or classify the products as drugs , mentions the need for movement control.

Thus a certification by the manufacturers and the content of the fluid that users pull into the lungs , so do not wanton seller may run out of hazardous substances on the market.

Eurofins did a special analysis for Sydsvenskans bill to browse other toxins than nicotine. There emerges all threads in the liquid, but not how much of each substance .

And we can not see anything noteworthy topic of special analysis. In addition to nicotine , propylene glycol and glycerol , we see the typical flavor components , such as is used in many foods, says Torbjörn Synnerdahl .

In addition to nicotine, contains fluids thus already approved food additives .

These cigarette solutions are no complicated products, the ingredients are common. What is new is the way to deploy it into the body, says Torbjörn Synnerdahl .

He does not comment on how dangerous it is with e-cigarettes . There are however many others who have views on , despite the absence of a comprehensive clinical analysis .

Martin Burman at MPA specifically points to the toxicity of nicotine is .

A bottle of liquid smoke can be deadly for an adult, but so far we are not aware of any deaths in Europe . And it may be that these liquids are weaker than expected. But we do not know for sure.vapor cigarette wholesale

For example, Olof Beck, professor in analytical toxicology - the study of poisons suggests that other substances may follow from the e-cigarette into the lungs .

Gasification at low temperature allows microbiological substances can survive and be drawn into the body , he says.

Linda McAvan , EU politician who was about compromise until the third tobacco directive is one of several that suggest that e-cigarettes can attract children and young people to start smoking .

We need to prevent , even if e-cigarettes have great potential to get people to stop smoking tobacco. But we still do not have good enough data on how it affects people , she says to Sydsvenskan.
