   Seeing less vape users. I think the trend has passed.

     The Vitamin E-spiked vaping lung disease from 2019, and the government and health industry going hard against it because its not taxed like tobacco both spooked the Milennials and Zoomers doing it.

     I meant low-lifes like jeets and spics. Haven't seen a White vape in a long time. Didn't know there was a lung disease thing. What was up with that?

     @rher @SuperSnekFriend "Popcorn lung," It happened to like one guy and every vape customer said "Vapes give you popcorn lung." And stopped.

     @rher @SuperSnekFriend I think it's the same with anything superficial, it might look nice on the outside but it kills you on the inside. Just like vegan food, canola oil, etc.

     @rher @SuperSnekFriend unironically yes, big tobacco has been a good proponent of masculinity compared with the vaping replacement modernity has brought to us.

     To explain: popcorn lung is permanent scar tissue on your lungs. There is no way to reverse it

     I always thought the issue with vapes was the vape fluid being trapped in the lungs

     The name comes from the place of origin. Workers in microwave popcorn factories would get scar tissue on their lungs over time from breathing in the chemicals in the factory.

     It was something that came right before Corona-chan. In fact, the timing made some goofballs believe it was actually the Wuhan coronavirus prior to the lab leak in November/December.
     
     But no, it was just stoners trying to enhance their THC high in any way possible while forgetting that you are not supposed to put anything and everything into your body, including your lungs, and things that can go in one place, like Vitamin E, shouldn't go into other.

     At least it was funny at the time to see stoners finally killing themselves with their own hubris.

     That's what causes the inflammation that can lead to the scarring

     Ah, I thought it lead to something like drowning on land. Popcorn lung is even nastier in some ways

     Yeah it's way more complex than my explanation and they haven't necessarily proven that vaping can definitively cause it due to the whole vaping thing being relatively new so the data isn't there. But it's plausible which is enough to scare people away

     @Goalkeeper @rher
     I found this study that suggests people do not get addicted to vaping, as many do to tobacco, suggesting a lesser impact than tobacco. But that is assuming you only use nicotine products and don't put in dangerous additives like stoner fags in the mid-west.

     @SuperSnekFriend @rher it was never a real concern except at first. You know how shitty and sensational the news is. I personally was always more worried about the very real threat of a lithium ion battery exploding in my pocket or worse being fired like a rocket into my brain
