Choices depend on personal preferences and tolerance of negative knowledge.

Examples:

I am not a heath nut, however I avoid eating foods with added sugar; because I do not really like sweets, it is not a big deal for me (for cooking my wife uses sucralose solution, the same one I occasionally use for DIY).

I do like meat, red meat, especially with lots of fat. I ignore supposed health threats and keep eating it.

So, I made my choices about my food. Sometimes I am choosing healthier style (when it does not really interfere with my preferences), sometimes I just eat what I like to eat. My choice - and I made it knowing about drawbacks of my food choices. The same should be with vaping - people should know about drawbacks, even supposed ones, to make their choices. To hide information is at least not ethical.

I lost you. When I was talking about regulation? Are you sure?

When you say "we should know what we could know now" how would we come to know this?

I submit that by doing your own testing, you would surely know. What is it that you feel could be done, other than personal testing, to provide that knowledge? Who, other than you, should be doing something? Are you hiding this information from yourself intentionally, by not doing the testing you should be doing? Is that ethical?

1. Every single case of diagnosed BO is related to a dust laden industrial environment. Coal dust. Textile dust. Diketone dust

2. Not one single case of BO is known (at least to anyone here in this forum) to any other non-dust borne environment. None of the world's billion smokers. None of the hundreds of millions of smokers who have died, and their lungs were available for autopsy. Some millions of their lungs were autopsied, many long aftger the diketetone/smoking issue was known. I'm not talking about how few, I am talking about the concept of ZERO. ZERO is an amazing number, and amazing mountain of evidence. And none of the world's vapers, whose up to 7 years experience far exceeds the timeline required to produce evidence of BO in popcorn workers (2 years or less).

3. Because of the above two simple and indisputable facts, the medical community considered BO a "dust borne disease"...

4. Until the politics of vaping destroyed the science.

That is all you need to know about diketones. If you can find evidence of BO in the smoking or vaping population, a Nobel Prize, or equivalent, awaits you. There are thousands of scientists that would love to reap that reward, but none have.

I have repeated this mantra over and over in this thread, and you repeatedly refuse to discuss these very simple observational facts. Your response is not unlike the response to observational evidence that the Earth is not the center of universe. Ignore that evidence, and burn the heretic at the stake. As a species we've learned nothing since Copernicus and Giordano Bruno. Nothing at all.
Good. Now you can see for yourself why I do not want to continue discussion with you - you do not read my posts.
I never (or at least in this thread) discussed whether diacetyl is bad or not.
Find somebody else for these discussions, I am not a participant.

What tests are you talking about? Charades, charades...

Sorry to take your time with my lack of knowledge, but did they ever say anything about the other chemicals in cigarettes or possible the smoking a BURNING cigarette possibly acting as a inhibator for diacetyl lessening it's effects on lugns?
I believe it was said.
I believe (but sure I do not know for sure) we do not know enough to be sure whether diacetyl is bad for vapers.
I do know that I personally do not want to inhale diacetyl in quantities.

I do not like being unethical.

Then by not doing the testing yourself, you are hiding that information from yourself. Given your earlier comments, I would suggest you stop behaving in an unethical manner. The knowledge of what is in your eLiquid will (presumably) pay off huge dividends going forward.

Diacetyl attacks, inflames and virtually obliterates the bronchioles, the lung's tiniest airways. As the body tries to heal, scar tissue builds up and further restricts the airways. The disease is called bronchiolitis obliterans; the damage, irreversible.

As for health consequences of smoking the below is a small sampler :


Big 3 diseases caused by smoking - lung cancer
-

- COPD
- coronary heart disease and other vascular disease including stroke.

List forms of smoking-related lung disease

- chronic bronchitis
- chronic bronchiolitis
- emphysema - a sign of bronchiolitis obliterations
- RBILD
- Bronchogenic carcinoma


(T/F) All smokers have respiratory bronchiolitis True
(inflammation of small airways)

- airway fibrosis
- may proceed to obliteration
- goblet cell carcinoma




Why shouldn't you be judgmental to people with lung cancer/smoking related diseases in their 70s and 80s?

it was very common back then to smoke - the risks have only been realized in recent decades
and i expect many decades to pass before diketone related diseases come to the forefront.

If you are not a participant of diacetyl discussions then why did you enter this thread to diss a chart of relative diacetyl exposures??????

I trust you will completely stay out of future discussions of diacetyl and diketones, and not just bow out when faced with actual factual evidence.

Fascinating.

In a humorous way.


Nothing fascinating or humorous about seeing the devastating effects smoking had to people you care about , i could see now that yourself and this VNeil chap are not people i wish to discuss anything with anymore , humorous , what a disgusting and inexcusable comment.

The truth: the Surgeon General's report of 1964 was over 50 years ago now, not just "decades". Very few people here started smoking before 1964. This idea that we just recently learned about the ravages of smoking is just more Orwellian nonsense.

If you want to try to suggest that BO is just another smoker's disease you have to explain how anyone discovered that those mostly smoking popcorn factory workers were ever diagnosed with something other than a run of the mill smoking related disease. But you can't do that. You can only continue to ignore the 50 ton elephant, hoping you can wish it away by repeating propaganda.

As always you refuse to face my unrelenting discussion of observational facts, and only the facts. You are not the only one here who responds to irrefutable facts with claimed humorous derision because that is all you have left to argue with.

We do not know.
We should know what we could know now, to make choices.
Choices depend on personal preferences and tolerance of negative knowledge.

I do like meat, red meat, especially with lots of fat. I ignore supposed health threats and keep eating it.

So, I made my choices about my food. Sometimes I am choosing healthier style (when it does not really interfere with my preferences), sometimes I just eat what I like to eat. My choice - and I made it knowing about drawbacks of my food choices. The same should be with vaping - people should know about drawbacks, even supposed ones, to make their choices. To hide information is at least not ethical.
And your point is?

Didn't say what you are saying I said (is humorous). But matters not as record is still up for what I did say. To be clear, I find the "cause" part extremely humorous in how you constructed it.

I thank you in advance for not replying further to my commentary. Still going to call out your stuff when I see it as fascinatingly absurd.

Read ECF threads named something like "how much juice do you vape daily" and you'll see that today many people exceed 20 ml/day consumption.
Take a look at B&M's, on their stock: they are catering to high volume vapers.
Yes, cigalikes still own the market (I believe it's around 60%), but I believe there are millions of 20+ ml vapers (not too educated guess, but nevertheless...)

Actually a Good read around ECF will show two things:
1) Most forum Tootle Puffers ignore that type of thread and do not respond.
2) Tight nit Forums tend to exceed normal Trends due to information sharing.

For average people:
8 hrs. work - mostly in No-smoking environments - maybe a sneak break/lunch hit
8 hrs. recreational/travel time/preparation for work day, morning/evening meals
8 hrs. Rest/sleep
Not a Ton of devotion to CLOUDS

I have all the gear, but while working I rarely exceeded 6-8ml day.
My wife, even with constant exposure to my antics and a much heavier smoker than I was - Kayfuns/EGO One tanks and averages 1.5ml or less per day. Hmmmm

Perhaps your way of Vaping has tinted your vision of Vaping as a whole.

Just reporting in from a few of the various high end bottom feeder forums, here on ECF. Everybody is in a good mood and we're all getting along very nicely. So far, the word "Diacetyl" has not been mentioned. Nobody is complaining of chest pains or shortness of breath. Nobody has died yet. Seems like Squonkers may reverse the harmful effects of these additives. Just a thought. Either way, the overall mood over there seems to be cheerful and happy.

As you were....

Sorry, that's baseless speculation meant to challenge me to prove a negative. As I've said repeatedly, I am only interested in the overwhelming observational facts. Not speculation to try to advance an agenda with no evidence whatsoever.

Your user name is quite telling...

I would suggest to you that if not for the billion smokers polluting the air, pigs would fly. I have no particular reason to believe that, but try to prove me wrong.

If you want to try to suggest that BO is just another smoker's disease you have to explain how anyone discovered that those mostly smoking popcorn factory workers were ever diagnosed with something other than a run of the mill smoking related disease. But you can't do that. You can only continue to ignore the 50 ton elephant, hoping you can wish it away by repeating propaganda.

You know very well that those factory workers WERE NOT SMOKERS , you preach that you are a "fact" guy (which is absolutely hilarious) when you think about it . Let me educate you and your buddy that THERE ARE NO FACTS at this point , every single study says this over and over , what they all say is we do not have current information on this and lots of additional research is required to come to any worthwhile data .

All we have is old diketone studies that DOES NOT relate to how people vape today , what is 100% true is this:

Nobody can say with absolute certainty that vaping juice with diketones will (without question) cause serious health consequences and nobody can say with absolute certainty that vaping juice with diketones will not cause serious health consequences .

That IS THE ONLY FACT that is known so please spare me all your " hey, everyone check me out , i'm Mr Factual and what i say is Gods word ", i think Jman is considerably more credibly than you and everyone knows his stance , everything is dangerous so you should never attempt to reduce risk , reducing risk is also dangerous so stay away from reducing risk .

There are no facts , you try to post info that doesn't even apply to how people vape these days , J man does not have factual info , i cannot prove anything either at this point , NOBODY CAN it is not available .

Your diacetyl is only dangerous when inhaled in powder form is some of the most comical reading i have come across in years so thank you for that .

Yes , i know that the info not being available since no long term studies have been conducted on vaping large quantities of diketone loaded juice over long periods of time is not an acceptable excuse to you but to anyone with "basic common sense" it's a very good excuse and makes perfect sense .

Let me guess, you think that since there is no scientific proof that Santa Claus is too fat to fit inside a chimney then its a given that he fits just fine and until someone confirms that he would get stuck halfway down you will assume he is fully capable .

Every single study says much more research needs to be done .

Once again YOU CANNOT rely on past studies because they ARE NOT applicable to what vapors are doing today , saying anything is a undeniable fact is being extremely irresponsible .

I made it a point to save some of your posts along with your good buddy Jman so i can come back and remind you two (really the only two i know of on ECF) that promote the use of diketones since they have been proven safe , hold on a minute ....... i busted out laughing when i said that .

Time will tell the story and i am extremely confident that my "basic common sense" will prevail in the end over both of your complete lack of "basic common sense" but if i am wrong and it is proven that sub ohming huge quantities of diketone loaded juice over long periods of time is harmless i would gladly admit it .

Imo and it's my opinion since no facts are available , the chance of it being completely harmless is no chance and that comes directly from utilizing basic common sense.

I know both of you love the "basic common sense" stuff because you get so upset about it that you eventually start using it in your own posts which is even funnier .

Hey Troll , he has ZERO facts and everybody but his pal Jman knows it.
