I just noticed that my juices from Mount Baker have warning labels... They state: "This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm."
This label took me by surprise. How could they determine whether or not ejuice is carcinogenic until say, about 50 years from now when the possible long term effects of vaping would arise? From what I understand, nicotine alone in low doses is barely harmful for you compared to the thousands of chemicals in a cigarette, and PG/VG are used in many foods and cosmetics.
I can understand that carcinogens could be present if somebody placed something like a cheap clearomizer on a 200 watt mod and the wick was combusted, but nobody vapes like that, and the warning is on the juice, not the device...
Can somebody explain why the MBV label includes this? I thought Mt Baker was in Washington, not California, unless perhaps they mix their juice or get their ingredients from CA? I have juices from other vendors such as MFS and Vapewild as well, and none of them have a warning label except for my MBV juices. Why? Is this just a political thing where they catagorize ejuice as a tobacco product and say it has the same risks? Or is there really something that has been scientifically proven as carcinogenic in the juice?
