Just watched it.
many reactions on here proves just how effective the media is in controlling our though processes.
I quit smoking. Vaping now. WHAT! They put popcorn lungs in my ejuice?!!!
Yeah like at a 1% level of what you were getting when you smoked.
The Diacetyl sky is falling OMG!
More people have died from stabbing themselves with a fork than from popcorn lung.
8 cases and maybe a few more is all the confirmed cases of popcorn lung?
A poster here has said in past posts there were 24 or 26 cases of popcorn lung.
This consisted of incidences in two popcorn factories and one flavor making plant.
There was one non-industry case. That was from a guy who supposedly ate copious
amounts of microwave popcorn. There was two additional case reported from workers
in a coffee roasting plant in Texas this last year. So you had a five year run from the late 1990's
thru the early 2000's then nothing until the two coffee plant workers. Although I never
added up all the cases from what I have read about while researching the subject the posters claims
do not seem to be out of line.
Its funny how over time peoples perceptions change. I remember when the popcorn eaters case
was going to court and the big popcorn lung threat was spreading like wildfire. The word
from the media,scientific community and,government was it was highly unlikely the general
public would be harmed as popcorn lung was a industrial related disease caused by working
with large amounts of raw flavoring. After that everything just blew over until we started
using it in e-juice. There have been many minor scares throughout the food handling
industry on and off since the mid 2000's. All have fallen to the wayside once it was understood
who got popcorn lung,where they got popcorn lung, and how they got popcorn lung.
Namely by dumping 50 pound bags of powdered diacetyl into mixers all day.
My how things have changed. I watched the video and tend to agree with the guy.
The only thing I would add is don't look for community harmony anytime soon.
Having lived through the protests of the 60's and seventies,then the initial demonization
of smokers and the bans that followed I can tell you one thing. There are those in our midst
stirring the pot. They are batting for the other team. Agent provocateurs.
: one employed to associate with suspected persons and by pretending sympathy with their aims to incite them to some incriminating action.
Although more common usage would be to incite people to break the law in our case they
incite us to make irrational decisions and cause general derision within the vaping community.
