Re: SmokingI never tried smoking. I watched peers in my younger days smoking and thought they looked cool but I just never tried it. When you quit smoking your body revolted is that what you are saying. Did you ever relapse and go back to smoking? Or did you never look back? How are you doing today?

It surprises me even more now that cigarette smoking seems to be makin
comeback.
We can get rid of more stupid people. I say advertise it, promote it l them all smoke everywhere again. Who cares!?!? Where did I put my HEALTHY low tar darts?
Suprising enough, My health problems did'nt start until I stopped smoking, a other lifestyle changes to try to benefit my health. It was a real shock to body I guess.. took about 3-4 years to get my blood pressure and heart-rate stable.

I was going to reply to this message that you were quoting, but oddly, I don't
have this thread at all in my Dove-Net General messagebase (despite the previous quote from Dumas Walker to me about smoking making a comeback).. Is this an old thread, perhaps?
I never thought it looked really cool. Just a little silly with something hanging out of someone's mouth with ashes falling off it..

Road trips in the '70s with two parents who smoked turned me off.
They claimed they'd open the window a crack and all of the smoke would
be sucked out. Didn't work as planned.
Later on, my father contracted emphysema, and that helped turn my
kids off of smoking.
They see smoking as harmful, but apparently vaping is just stupid.
People tend to think of 'vaping' as safe, but it's not safe.
'E-liquid' or 'e-juice' or 'vape juice' is what the devices use to
vaporize for you to breathe in. E-liquids are not just water, they
contain some nasty chemicals.

you get the popcorn lung!
(hence the name) and some low-quality vape flavouring compounds. It
is not associated with vaping itself. In countries that regulate
vape juice (like the UK), diacetyl is a banned ingredient.
Hope this helps.
dont care, i don't vape.
you quoted what someone else said except when i said popcorn lung.
i dont think vaping is safe, i dont think putting anything into your lungs is safe.

The chief ingredient is propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycol.
These are ingredients used in countless food, medicine, cosmetic, and other products. Been to a live show? Theatrical fog is the same stuff, just un-scented, and obviously does not contain nicotine.
It's true that a lack of regulation means potentially bad stuff in the flavouring compounds (see below), but if you buy from reputable juice manufacturers who are open about their ingredients, and/or operate in
a jurisdiction that regulates the industry, you are far far far better
off than inhaling combustion products.

Popcorn lung is associated with diacetyl, found in popcorn flavouring (hence the name) and some low-quality vape flavouring compounds. It is
not associated with vaping itself. In countries that regulate vape
juice (like the UK), diacetyl is a banned ingredient.

It's your prerogative to think that, but at least now you and other readers can carry their opinions based on more accurate information. You're welcome!

It's strange what people do to justify smoking or 'vaping'. As I
stated in the message originally, I'm no one to talk as I smoked
cigarettes until I was 27 years old. I knew it was bad at the time I
was doing it and could find countless ways to justify it. Also the government did regulate cigarettes at the time, so yeah that didn't actually do anything to mitigate the problems.
If you're quoting what someone wrote, it's good to address your reply to the person you're quoting.
Does eating the popcorn also cause popcorn lung?!?
Cool? Others following this public discussion may, however. It's not
all about you. :)

Smoking cigarettes is bad for your lungs. Vaping is bad for your
lungs, and of course placing your mouth over the exhaust pipe of a
running combustion engine is bad for your lungs.

Wow. Great answer!
behavior. It's obvious that you are a user. Your 'more accurate
information' is biased and based upon your opinion. But hey that's
OK. We all have opinions, It's your prerogiative to have one.

Not a conclusive observation by any means, but a.more useful one than
a bare assertion like "I believe X is bad." We can investigate
to prove/disprove the former.

it causes popcorn stomach.
well well well. internet tells me that other chemicals in vapes
cause damaged airways as well.
It isnt about justifying it.IMO, people do what they want, you and I included.
Neither of us ought to have to justify what we do to our own bodies.
I wouldn't know, as soon as they stopped calling it "Butter" I stopped having it put on my popcorn.
First it was butter, then it was "butter flavor", now they call it "popcorn topping".
Aside: I've noticed more people now buying the large popcorn container with free refills and taking popcorn home with them after the movie. I'd think one or two refills while you're at the theater would suffice.

lol! Nah, it's inhaling the dust that's the issue. It's a food grade ingredient.

I haven't had theatre popcorn in a *long* time. I suspect the
popcorn in question here is the microwave variety but I could be
wrong. IIRC, those also are "butter flavored" rather than
"buttered."
I would also prefer the real thing vs. a chemical cocktail.

I don't think they've been putting real butter on movie theater popcorn the entire time we've been alive, or atleast since before the first time we saw our first movie in the movie theaters. they have always used flavored oil.

Probably a good idea. I saw a story once on a guy way back that loved popcorn so much he ate it everyday and ended up with popcorn lung.
give you popcorn farts. I can see the comparibility of both now.
