As it contains two alcohol groups, it is classed as a diol. An aliphatic diol may also be called a glycol.
E-liquids usually contain propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine, flavorings, additives, and differing amounts of contaminants. [29] E-liquids are also sold without propylene glycol, [30] nicotine, [31] or flavors. [32] The benefits and the health risks of e-cigarettes are uncertain.
