Media Bias Exposed: ‘Popcorn Lung’ Chemical

[Pacer]

Reports of high levels of a potentially deadly chemical in e-cigarettes have been greatly exaggerated and are part of a trend toward the demonization of vaping, according to a leading tobacco control expert.

Diacetyl, a chemical linked to the severe respiratory disease bronchiolitis obliterans, commonly known as “popcorn lung,” was found in 39 of 51 flavored e-liquids examined by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Five Pawns off the hook finally

[Bobsbeer]

It's good to see vaping fighting back, but the problem is it is a rear guard action reacting rather than pushing the action forward. While it's difficult to understand respectable scientists and researchers willing to trash their reputation over this, the rewards must be overwhelming to make then do it. Sadly with vaping being a fragmented activity in terms of manufacturers and distributors it makes it an easy target from the well organised wheels of Big Pharma and Big T. The more the likes of Glantz et al are rubbished publicly the better. People can only cry wolf so many times.

Scaremongering? Be like the 3 monkeys.... see no scaremongering, read no scaremongering, take up vapemongering.

I'd like to monger some vapes. Better than iron or fish.
