NRT

[Karma]

Our local NRT support service will not recommend the use of e-cigs as they 'may' be harmfull. Not exactly news, we've heard it before and anyway there could be problems if e-cigs did come under the umbrella of NRT.

I've been having a bit look around the internet at ingredients of some NRT products, particularly then Nicorette Quick Mist, this is what it contains

Propylene glycol
Anhydrous ethanol
Trometamol
Poloxamer 407
Glycerol
Sodium hydrogen carbonate
Levomenthol
Mint flavour
Cooling flavour
Sucralose
Acesulfame potassium
Hydrochloric acid
Purified water

Is this not similar to the composition of PG based e-juice?

Well some are Karma, my very limited knowledge can't comment on the bits I haven't heard from though

[Karma]

Yes, it would seem there are more ingredients in there than e-juice

Some people i'm working with at the moment are worried about me vaping. they are on various forms of NRT but are all still smoking

Kind of prompted me to look into the ingredients though

I did find a Clinical Study on the efficacy of Ecigs v NRT from an American Journal.
