Popcorn Lung – Part two The Sequel
Just when you thought it had finally gone away for ever…. It rears its ugly head again to spread more lies to the unsuspecting new generation of people trying to quit the cigs in favour of the proven 95% safer E Cigarettes.
Just in case you are not signed upto the POTV newsletter the latest report on July 25th 2022 was from our own Dave cross at POTV Popcorn Lung Poppycock
December 2022 INNCO Debunks Popcorn Lung Myth HERE
Latest report from Cancer Research UK from December 2021 Cancer Research UK
Like any news report that is posted on the internet, once its there it stays there for life even after it is debunked and sadly the unsuspecting public believe what they are reading.
Now the back story for those that are new to vaping and not read my previous post from 2017 HERE
A little history.
Popcorn Lung was first aired back in the 1940's in popcorn factories where workers were mixing hot vats of popcorn for 8 hours a day. In some cases it caused a condition which was named as Popcorn Lung (Bronchiolitis Obliterans). It has also been mentioned that it has affected some workers (8 people) who mix and package flavoured microwave-popcorn but since the dawn of health and safety in any business, masks, goggles and air filtration fans are used so this will be a thing of the past.
Now the facts we know of.
A single cigarette has more diacetyl in it than the worst found cases of diacetyl in e liquid.
Not one person in the world has died from popcorn lung who smokes cigarettes.
Diacetyl has been banned in eliquid since 20th May 2017 when the full implementation of the Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) became law in the UK.
So panic not as its pure scaremongering at its best.
