A member asked:

Is vegetable glycerin safe for inhalation? as in use for vaporizers

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe, but...: Vegetable glycerin itself is safe. What concerns me is that you want to smoke e-cigarettes(that is what you mean by "vaporizers", right? Please read this article from the American Academy of Pediatrics before you get into this habit. You obviously care for your health to ask the question. http://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/teen/substance-abuse/Pages/E-cigarettes.aspx
