So like many of you I took up vaping because I wanted to stop the amount of damage I was doing to my body through smoking. Everything (in my mind at least) seemed to point to vaping being less harmful than tobacco. I mean there were some scare stories that kept coming out and I still see in the papers here (UK) about devices blowing up and there apparently being no reason for it to happen or a child becoming sick because of ingestion of ejuice. I saw them for what they were, fear mongering, but these latest stuff about Diketones, Acetoin and popcorn lung can be quite scary especially if you don't understand anything about the differences between vaping and smoking.
Now the term popcorn lung and the story behind it being linked to Diketones in buttery/creamy flavourings with popcorn, hence the name, struck me as logical and pushed me away from using certain flavouring. In fact it spurred me on to make my own juices that I think will be safer. Here's the thing that has left me questioning the validity of the story, I watched a video by Suck My Mod that was talking about this and he claimed that the number of people who were actually afflicted with "popcorn lung" was only 8 people (may have been more). Also there was something stated about there being more of these ingredients they're trying to steer you away from in cigarettes than in any flavouring available for vaping.
Basically I would like to know if anyone has any information linked to this subject that could help us all stand a little clearer on what's what.
