The question here is does this lipid actually cause pneumonia and if so at what dosage, if it can be relatively easily metabolized or otherwise cleared from the tissue it might not be an issue in the first place.
Yes nebulizers are hard to keep clean but that’s because they are essentially a petri dish and people who use them already have compromised lungs and or immune system. I don’t think people who vape keep their ecigs especially clean and at scale it doesn’t seem to cause too many issues.
I can see a lot of reasons why this might not end up being effective but jumping to pneumonia is a bit of a stretch tbh.
If this lipid isn’t toxic at a medically effective dosage you can probably have a hygienic delivery mechanism like an inhaler instead of a nebulizer.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI don't vape. My knowledge of oil chemistry is on shaky ground and I've already deleted one comment because I blurted something out half remembered and was like "Wait. That's not actually correct." What I'm telling you is that glycerin is not a lipid, though it appears to be a building block of lipids. So glycerin being a basis for vaped products is irrelevant. My general understanding is any amount of oils going into the lungs is a bad idea. This is not about medicinal dosage. This is about mechanically blocking lung function.
