It is a fundamental law of humanity that whenever we find a solution for a particular issue, we charge forward with it, willfully ignorant of whatever problems it clearly portends.
Don’t like Tsar rule? Communism, that will be perfect. Horses too slow? Cars shouldn’t cause any problems at all. And so on.
Which brings us to vaping. Vaping! The healthy way of putting chemicals into your lungs.
Guess what, as many studies have shown, and as Harvard University has now definitively proven, vaping is not good for you.
Say it with me now, vapers who are boiling with rage. You can do it. Vaping is not good for me.
From the Harvard School of Public Health.
Diacetyl, a flavoring chemical linked to cases of severe respiratory disease, was found in more than 75 percent of flavored electronic cigarettes and refill liquids tested by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Two other related, potentially harmful compounds were also found in many of the tested flavors, which included varieties with potential appeal to young people such as cotton candy, “Fruit Squirts,” and cupcake.
At least one of the three chemicals was detected in 47 of the 51 flavors tested. Diacetyl was detected above the laboratory limit of detection in 39 of the flavors tested. Acetoin and 2,3-pentanedione were detected in 46 and 23 and of the flavors, respectively.
Inhaling Diacetyl is one of the primary causes of bronchiolitis obliterans, a debilitating lung disease.
