      Snus/oral nicotine pouches are the best option, and yet those are „illegal“ in many countries. Sweden and other Scandinavian countries have the lowest lung cancer rates.

      >The term popcorn lung emerged in the early 2000s when factory workers who inhaled a butter-flavoring chemical called **diacetyl** developed the same devastating lung damage.

      Back when there was a bespoke vape community this was a well known issue and many small manufacturers had statements about it on the website that it wasn’t used in flavoring. Increased regulation somehow gutted the small-fish vape juice manufacturers while apparently its an issue in major commercial brands.

      Big Tobacco is behind a lot of vape legislation, which is such a shame. Vaping is generally a lot less dangerous than smoking.

      Popcorn lung is what I’ve heard front-line medical refer to it. Don’t hate on me, I’m just echoing what a nurse told me. They have seen it many times from the vaping community.

      „Investigators eventually linked the outbreak to vitamin E acetate, a thickening agent used in some cannabis vape products.

      When heated, vitamin E acetate produces a highly toxic gas called ketene.“
