    My guy/gal/nonbinary pal: pls see the references in this https://medicpro.london/2025/05/08/vaping-and-popcorn-lung-separating-fact-from-fiction/ Diacetyl has been widely banned since 2014 in all but the most trash Chinese vape juice, and quality vendors never used it in the first place.

    Also the supposed cases of popcorn come from one source. Some dude in California who cut his cannabis juice with it, and in every single case the kids that got sick were using his juice in vape pens, not actually vaping. It’s Friday night here and I’d rather not track the story down but if you really want it I’ll find it.

    As a former life long smoker, vaping (which is the front line treatment for cessation in the UK) saved my life. Now, however, the shops pushing disposable vapes with super high nicotine salts on to kids - which is illegal almost everywhere - they need to die in a fire. The kids don’t get hooked on "vape;’ they get hooked on nicotina because those damn things are the equivalent of smoking two or three regular cigarets in one puff.

      Thanks for backing up what I said.

      Though it was never popcorn lung from the weed vapes, like I said that idiot used vitamin E acetate (think I mistyped and said A earlier but same diff.) Didn’t know he was in CA though I thought he was midwest.
