Vaping can cause "Popcorn lung"?

[bovril]

Just read a study about some flavours containing diacetyl. Does this mean vaping is not safe? Should I be concerned?

Chemical flavorings found in e-cigarettes linked to lung disease

Many are concerned and many are not.

Many juices do contain diacetyl and other related diketones.

I don't have any particular links to hand, someone else may well provide for you, however a search engine or even a search on this forum, will provide you with an over whelming amount of information on this subject.

Me, I avoid all juices that contain diacetyl, acetyl propyinol and acetoin.

The more reasonable vendors, or those who are concerned about this issue, test for said chemicals in their juices.

Choice is yours.

I really wish we could put this to rest.

Dr. Michael Siegel, professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences at Boston University School of Public Health, the Harvard study has several “glaring omissions,” and the level of diacetyl exposure from vaping compared with smoking differs by “orders of magnitude.”

Siegel, who has spent 25 years in the field of tobacco control, points out the study published in the journal “Environmental Health Perspectives” didn’t even mention that regular cigarettes contain diacetyl, and in far greater amounts than any e-liquids.

Looking at the numbers, Siegel found “daily exposure to diacetyl from smoking is therefore 750 times higher, on average than exposure to diacetyl from vaping.” Vapers are, on average, exposed to a daily dose of nine micrograms of diacetyl, compared with 6,718 micrograms for smokers.

No. That's just more anti-vaping propaganda based on half-truths and WAGs. Cigarettes have a hell of a lot more diacetyl than any e-juice, and smokers don't get "popcorn lung". Only a relative handful of people who worked in the popcorn factory ever have.. and one nut who consumed a ridiculous amount of the stuff every day.

Unless you can link a single case of Vaping or even Smoking causing such.............

Junk science that has never proven any such thing.

Outside of Industrial Exposures, only one case has ever been successfully settled and that one did NOT Prove Diacetyl in fact was the cause. Only a Plausible link due to Microwave Popcorn Abuse.
*Even the CDC has Never Conclusively proven Diacetyl Dangers outside industrial conditions. * No Science has proven this, to this day, either.

Don't want the risk, Don't purchase flavors likely to contain Diketones.

smoking anything isn't good for you.

you should be very concerned.

Lots of sarcasm here. Figured I'd just add some info.

Read this! - Massively important report on vaping from major British medical group

The RCP is in support of vaping. Some studies have shown vapor to be 95%+ safer than cigarettes and comparable to city air.

Diacetyl is an additive to traditional combustible cigarettes in higher percentages than those found in e-liquid. I know of no reports of cigarette smokers suffering from "popcorn lung".

Some worry about it and some don't. I'm of the latter group, because I am 100% sure vaping is significantly safer than smoking. If I get popcorn lung when I'm 90, I lived until I'm 90, and I didn't get lung cancer.

There are many who choose to avoid. While increasing numbers of suppliers are transparent (and provide test results), others have a history of being downright deceptive. If you choose to avoid, you will want to research for those in the former category. I DIY but perhaps the following thread might be of use to you:

[sonicbomb]

The Diacetyl scare was just that, a scare. Vapers panicked and in the process gave ammunition to those who oppose vaping.

Some of you need to knock it off. We don't treat members like the way some of you have been doing. There are a lot of new vapers out there that don't know what's going on, and you need to act accordingly.
