Can an e-liquid be Halal?

The question that may firstly be asked is “Can an e-liquid be Halal?”. In simple terms, the word ‘halal’ just means ‘legal’ or ‘lawful’. What it therefore refers to is things that are permitted openly by Islamic Sharia law. The most frequent time people outside of Islamic communities hear the word ‘halal’, however, is in reference to food. Food that is halal, is, as you might expect, food that complies with Sharia law when it comes to being fit for the consumption of the followers of Islam.

By Halal, one understands any object or action which is permissible to use or engage in, 

according to Islamic law, the Shari’ah. Muslim vapers, to follow the precepts of their faith, three points have to be considered: vape alcohol-free, nicotine-free and pork-free when choosed e-liquids.

With the juices used in electronic cigarettes, you have a wealth of choices in terms of flavour and content, as you can see here. The recipes used for these juices vary, but there are two base components used alongside the flavour essences and the nicotine (where used). These are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Both components are deemed to be safe and healthy to use in vaping, and are also components in plenty of every day foods. However, propylene glycol, generally known as PG, may sometimes be derived from animal products. If you are a halal eater, therefore, it is in your personal interests to avoid the PG based e-liquids and opt for VG alternatives – these are made entirely from vegetable extracts and are therefore fine in keeping with Sharia eating law. 

VG E-CIG JUICES
While there are plenty of e-liquids out there that use VG as an ingredient, many of these still contain some PG as this is used to carry the flavour components. This is not a bad thing if you are not worried about animal products being used in the things you buy, however for halal users, as well as vegans, vegetarians or people on a kosher diet, it is not acceptable. You should therefore only look for e-liquids that have 100% VG content. You can also find that a lot of these 100% VG e-juices also are made from organic products, giving you a higher level of quality (particularly when it comes to flavour), and are GMO free. All in all, this makes them a wonderful choice if you want to start vaping but need to pick something that suits your halal requirements!
