Turns out breathing in large quantities of oil droplets is really bad for your lungs...
Now perhaps they can stop the hysteria and put in some effective regulatory control instead.
- pkaye 7y agoWhy would there need to be regulatory control? People could just look at the package to see if it mentions vitamin E or not.
- buttcoinslol 7y agoThe package of the black market thc cartridge will list if it has Vitamin E Acetate? There isn't vitamin e acetate in nicotine e-liquid because vitamin e acetate is used as a cutting agent in black market thc carts, and not used in e-liquid at all. You can't regulate the black market, but you can make it smaller or eliminate it by legalizing marijuana.

- MereInterest 7y agoRegulations are what require labels to be accurate, and to have labels at all.
- velox_io 7y agoDo you really believe zero oil/ fats from food makes it down the trachea? Of course it does! Plus you breathe in all manor of pollutants. It's a little like radiation; natural radiation is everywhere and you cannot avoid it, it becomes a major problem when the body is exposed to more than the body can safely remove/ recover from.
- hn_throwaway_99 7y ago> Do you really believe zero oil/ fats from food makes it down the trachea? Actually, yes, I do believe that. When someone says "Wow, you really inhaled that piece of pie" it's usually meant as hyperbole.

- AQuantized 7y agoI think "large quantities" is the key part.
- velox_io 7y agoYes, very much so.
- dkraft 7y agoYou really think that thick scum on the steering wheel, dash and windows is not harming the most sensitive transmissive cells in your body? LOL
- analog31 7y agoAs I understand it, oil mists have always been considered to be an inhalation hazard. I remember warnings about this from at least 30 years ago. A lot of people may have presumed that the vaping fluids were mainly water soluble.
- hurrdurr2 7y agoYeah you're right. Problem is illegal vape carts added these kinds of oils to make the product thicker. The problem has always been illegal THC vape carts causing injuries and deaths and not their legal counterparts.
- stinos 7y agoTurns out breathing in large quantities of oil droplets is really bad for your lungs... Is that from the article? (have no access to the article, and none of the other links from another comment here say anything about this, it is all about the findings about Vit E acetate)
