So he didn’t stop after the first lung collapse?
Don’t put stuff into your lungs.
Except air.
Typical leftist. “I can’t handle it so everyone else must be regulated.”
I’m stupid, therefore there should be a law against stupid.
Popcorn lung?
Marlboros were my poison of choice, but I gave them up fifty years ago because of sinus infections. I’d quit smoking for a few weeks when I got one. When it was gone I would start smoking again and bam... sinus infection again.
It was actually a fortunate thing, because I hate pain and smoking brought pain, so when I finally quit it was easy.
Health / life BUMP!
Trying to figure out the challenges with vaping. Is it the chemicals they take in, the physical mechanics of vaping or both?
When this first hit the spotlight I understood it was ‘off market’ brands containing chemicals (and THC) that were the only devices causing problems.
What has changed that it is solely vaping causing these issues?
I have never vaped or smoked but have many friends and family that do.

This happen to a young male, we know, in his teen years. He was a 3 letter jock in a good private school.
His coaches told him if he wanted to commit to a miserable life, to continue vaping.
He quit and seemed to get back to his sports, and never reached his endurance and skill levels before vaping.
Yet another “Don’t be a dumbass like me” article. Stupid people, doing stupid things,until something bad happens to them, then they want to save the world.
I’ve been vaping since 2009 which successfully got me off of the cigarettes I was sucking down for 30 years.
Took a while to get to the point where I’m building my own coils and mixing my own fluids (Because government can’t help but tax everything and anything).
What I’ve learned over the last 15 years of doing it is to stick with what works (Kanthol coil wire and protected box mods), and stay away from anything oil based.
THC products seem to use an oil based mix diluting agent. All of my stuff is water based.
Zero side effects for me to date.
That being said, I’d recommend that if someone’s never tried vaping (Or cigarettes for that matter), don’t start.
But, that’s not my call to make.
However, I did quit smoking with it.
I vaped to help me get off cigs. Once I was off I slowly worked my way down the nicotine levels to zero. Then after a few months of no nicotine I stopped vaping altogether. Worked for me.
Projecting being stupid as a trap that anyone can fall into is how people assuage their own subconscious sense that they are stupid.
Some individuals filled the cartridges with CBD oil, which is often a suspension in vitamin E acetate. This stuff causes serious damage to the lungs when heated.
Mom was an RN. She told us stories like the cancer patient they had whose throat was eaten away with cancer and he was fed through the open hole in his throat.
That worked for me. Didn’t work for my brother who died of cancer at age 32.
