"Pneumoconiosis is one of a group of interstitial lung disease caused by breathing in certain kinds of dust particles that damage your lungs.

Because you are likely to encounter these dusts only in the workplace, pneumoconiosis is called an occupational lung disease.
The disease appears in different forms, depending on the type of dust you inhale. One of the most common forms is black lung disease, also known as miner's lung. It’s caused by breathing in coal dust. Another is brown lung, which comes from working around dust from cotton or other fibers. Other types of dusts that can cause pneumoconiosis include silica and asbestos. Diacetyl, the compound used to give movie popcorn its buttery flavor, also can lead to the disease. This is known as popcorn lung. "

Pneumoconiosis usually take years to develop. Because your lungs can't get rid of all these dust particles, they cause inflammation in your lungs that can eventually lead to scar tissue.

Please feel free to correct me when I am wrong.

I'd reckon that someone who simply works in a clothing store might be at a gazillion times higher risk than a vaper when it comes to breathing in fibers. Or even a whole lot of other situations in life. As for the diacetyl, well, that one has been beat to death. Unless a person really sets out to do themselves harm, the risk is still considered very low.

The key word is DUST.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get dust from a wet wick?

I am a paramedic with years of advanced medical training and experience in respiratory treatment. You wont get Pneumoconiosis from vaping just like you wont get it from sitting in a sauna. Not open for further debate unless a physician wants to argue with me... at that point I will just bow out and say whatever...
