Public Health Warnings and Medical Consensus
Major health organizations, including the American Lung Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have warned about the dangers of inhaling chemicals in vaping products. The concern is not only about nicotine addiction but also about long-term lung damage. Bronchiolitis obliterans is difficult to diagnose in its early stages, and by the time symptoms are obvious, the damage is usually extensive. Medical consensus now confirms that exposure to diacetyl through vaping can cause popcorn lung. There is growing agreement that flavored vapes, in particular, pose a serious threat to respiratory health.
