I am for free market! I use to EVAP and would get continual lung infections, after a chest exam the Oil was getting stuck in my lungs. I quit Vaping immediately. It has taken me almost a yr to recover. I was coughing up oily saliva for months. Do at your own risk like with anything else like CBD or Kratom.
As for this, what a bunch of BS. Yes, kids using e-cigs has gone up, but at the same time their use of actual cigarettes has declined. That’s a good thing. And as for flavors, also BS, kids aren’t the only ones who like flavors, adults do too. And they can’t end it anyway, what are they going to do, outlaw liquid flavoring, because I can just get a flavorless e-liquid and add my own strawberry or whatever other flavor I like and so can kids.
Our bodies react differently to foreign things that enter our body. I am not the only one who had this problem, all doctors consider vaping a form of smoking now. My wife just had her last physical and the doctor asked her if she was still vaping. The side effects are yet to be determined , because EVAP is a newer phenomena, my wife switched to Vap Salts, which is considered a safer process, but I still refrain from it because of the oil base in the juice. I had to stop in fear of getting popcorn lung.
Most of my extended family on my mom’s side smoked like fiends for years, to the extent I can still remember most of the brands. Most smoked Winston’s, but there were a couple of Pall Mall smoker’s and one uncle smoked a pipe.
Not one of them died early and not one of them died from a so-called “smoking related disease.” On the contrary, they all lived into their 80’s and 90’s.
No, it is not a good idea to smoke, but people know the risks and if people want to take the risks, the government should just **** off and mind its own business.
It started with a cough that would not stop, and tightness in my chest. That article was very informative, thank you for posting it. My Doctor told me I was at risk for this If i didnt stop!
LOL Then your doctor is Full Of Crap! Because no one knows the true long term effects of Vaping, even the FDA admits that. My Doctor and Wife’s Doctor said the process in which the Oil/ Juice is burned , and enters your lungs can do long term damage. He said its like swallowing hot oil in small doses, and having it go down the trachea instead of the throat where oil is intended to go, the oil has no where to expel itself, which can create respiratory problems (I.E Me). The main component of any ejuice is vegetable oil, which not meant to be smoked.
Bunch of crap propaganda, nobody reputable uses diacetyl any more. and no, propylene glycol is not “toxic chemicals” Your source has a financial interest if convincing parents their kids need to be rehabbed if they vape. And not buying the double risk of heart attack based on one study.
The potential for long-term oral toxicity is also low. In one study, in 1972, 12 rats were provided with feed containing as much as 5% PG over a period of 2 years, and showed no apparent ill effects; no data on offspring were offered.[32] Because of its low chronic oral toxicity, propylene glycol was classified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) for use as a direct food additive, including frozen foods such as ice cream and frozen desserts.[30][33] The GRAS designation is specific to its use in food, and does not apply to other uses.[34]
Inhalation of propylene glycol vapors appears to present no significant hazard in ordinary applications.[36]
