E-Cigs seems to be getting
more and more dangerous. 15 years ago when former workers in a microwave
popcorn plant in Missouri fell sick with the irreversible disease no known as
obliterative bronchiolitis (nickname: popcorn lung). It has come to people’s attention that the same
chemical within that popcorn plantation is in E-cigs. This have brought upon a
threat to a whole new group of people, especially young and ignorant teenage
boys. The chemicals are found in flavors like “cupcake” or “cotton candy” that
appeal to younger people, but that is just two of over 7,000 e-cig flavors. The
suspected chemical is diacetyl, and several leading microwave popcorn brands
have since pulled the chemical from their formulas. In analyzing 51 different flavored
e-cigs, a team of scientists found at least one of the three top toxins-
diacetyl, acetoin, and 2,3-pentanedione in 47 of the e-cigs. THIS IS SO SCARY!!
I wish everyone was aware of these issues.
