And here we go - Chapter 2, @StatutoryVapeBk brings up Dr. Wilson Tsai (who apparently doesn't know the difference between vaping and smoking - ie vaping is not combustion) but then brings out popcorn lung
Here we go again. Diacetyl.
Popcorn lung.
Amazing how smokers who are subjected to WAY more diacetyl have yet have a single case of popcorn lung...
This Canadian kid that is referenced here.. "would often add THC to the liquid."
This gem
"It may seem unimportant to know the details of such a clinical intervention but consider the downplaying by e-cig manufacturers coupled w/the ... feelings of teens."
Consider how public health agencies refused to fully acknowledge the role of THC vape pens causing injuries and instead of saying "Don't buy DANK vapes they're fake," the CDC said "Don't vape!"
How many lives would have been saved if THC-vaping was acknowledged
But here we go - this paragraph opened up with diacetyl and popcorn lung and then acknowledged the kid used THC but downplays the role of that in his lung injury.
"All signs point to the diagnosis of 'popcorn lung' or its clinical name"
Again - "He would often add THC to the liquid"

1/ I read multiple books at a time, and let me tell you, some stark differences between @StatutoryVapeBk & @BarryMeier "Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America's Opioid Epidemic"
2/ For example, "On an average day in 2016, 175 people died from an overdose, a rate of seven fatalities pan hour."
Verus: 3/ "At the time this book was published, the CDC reported that there were 64 deaths confirmed in 27 states and the District of Columbia due to vaping-related illnesses."
Carly is an interesting case study in @StatutoryVapeBk & I'll actually probably reference her in future testimonials.
"For me, I think it just started, one day, when one of my friends was like 'I found this. I already have one. Do you want it?"
This is kinda scary to think of this mentality though:
"And so, the first couple times I tried it, I was so distracted by how my body was rejecting it and the coughing that I didn't even want to continue. But then I was like, 'Well, I didn't feel anything.'"
Oh Carly...
"...there's this false perception that people who've smoked cigarettes for twenty years are fine.."
I've got loads of videos on that one.
