You really got to consider the source. The site "nowcheckthis" is an backdated tabloid site. They steal, recopy and twist stories from past tabloids who already had their facts twisted. You see them all the time, they are the bottom line popups when you click on to a real news story. They should really be called "do you really believe this crap".

You think popcorn lung is bad? That's nothing compared to those poor child slaves on Mars NASA promises there aren't any child slaves on Mars

This is pathetic no wonder there is hardly any posts, I will continue to vape as it keeps me focused, calm & most of all healthy.

Im pretty sure if something like that was real news whatsoever it would be on reputable sites and tv news. Facebook is known for fake crap, communities that like to stir up trouble, and anything that helps prove a specific persons specific point whatever way they see fit.

Agreed!

Let's see if I remember correctly. A handful of workers in a singular microwave-popcorn processing facility contracted a certain respiratory disease which causes irreversible scarring of the lung tissue. The air in the plant was tested and found to contain higher levels of a certain compound (diacetyl) than similar facilities, and so it was decided, without further study, that correlation equals causation, and that diacetyl was "associated with" and therefore suddenly responsible for and "a cause of" said condition. The disease, known as bronchiolitis obliterans, came to be known as "popcorn lung" or "popcorn-worker's lung". One consumer also contracted the disease, after preparing a popcorn packet, while standing next to the microwave, "inhaling and enjoying the aroma" as it popped, every night, for decades, and was subsequently awarded a large monetary sum. Since that time, most if not all microwave popcorn and e-liquid manufacturers, have ceased using diacetyl as an additive in their products. It is, however, a naturally-occurring substance, and may be present in trace amounts in some of the other ingredients which are still used, but even so, nobody has ever contracted popcorn lung from an e-cigarette.

could diacetyl as a manufacturing additive be unhealthy while naturally occurring diacetyl is somehow different? Is that something people could be missing?
