Can e-cigarettes be really more effective against the H1N1 flu strain - commonly known as swine flu - than vaccine that many governments want people to take? According to some researches, they actually can. It turns out that propylene glycol, the primary ingredient in the e-cigarette cartridge, may be a powerful deterrent against pneumonia, influence and other respiratory diseases, when vaporized and inhaled.

A certain doctor called Oswald Hope Robertson tested vaporized propylene glycol on lab mice in’42. On 16th November the same year, Time magazine wrote “Dr Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air first with propylene glycol, then with the flu pathogen. All the mice lived.Then he sprayed the chamber with the virus alone. All of the mice died.”

The analysts also discovered that the propylene glycol itself was a powerful germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would - within a few seconds - kill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot.”

The press release informing us of such developments 67 years ago, comes from an e-cigarette maker.And naturally any e-cigarette maker would find any argument for selling their products, and in times when we are being consistently warned about swine influenza epidemic, this is a huge sales pitch.

The company also asserts that controlled trials on e- cigarettes containing propylene glycol were carried out in New Zealand by Dr Murray Laugeson of Health New Zealand.

“Far from posing a threat to our health, the propylene glycol in e-cigarettes might just keep us healthy,” the company say about these trials. “Further studies should be done on the results of propylene glycol to figure out if it may be employed successfully as a pathogen prevention tool. Would it not be excellent if the best flu defensive was right under our noses all this time?” It actually would, indeed.

Oh, in case you do not know what’s an e-cigarette : it is a device that looks, feels, and tastes like a tobacco cigarette, as the user copies the mechanical motions. It expels a virtually odorless water vapor that looks like smoke, but isn’t.
