The carrier liquid might be the same thing as theater haze, but theater haze doesn't contain nicotine (which has known health risks even without combustion products), doesn't contain flavorings that are only tested for food use (and the example of "popcorn lung" from diacetyl shows that inhaling flavorings directly is not the same as using them in food), and is inhaled in much lower concentrations. E-cigs are safer than smoking, but to call them "harmless" is a strong claim that requires evidence.
- shermanyo 8y ago(Full disclosure: I run a small business making and selling flavoured e-cigarette liquid) The levels of diacetyl from a conventional cigarette can be around 750x that of what you'd get from an e-cigarette containing such a flavouring. Most concentrate manufacturers have removed or replaced any flavours that contain this or other known irritants wherever possible, and provide material safety data sheets for all ingredients. As far as I am aware, there have been no reported cases of "popcorn lung" from vapers or smokers. If I am mistaken or unaware of any contradictory information, I would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction. http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/12/new-study-finds-that-average-diacetyl.html http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/12/new-study-finds-...
