As far as I'm aware - you are correct. the whole popcorn lung thing is paid propaganda from ironically funded by tobacco industries.
popcorn lung only ever affected factory workers working with that chemical in concentrations higher than you would ever see even in a cigarettes chain-smoker.
This move made sense before they owned major players in the E-juice/E-cig business (juuls) - but now seems weird to push again.
edit: with all this said. let us not have that chemical in e-cigarettes going forward in the future (which I'm pretty sure most companies moved away from it in 2014 during the original popcorn lung ad campaign - so I doubt it's as much as an issue as it was previously).

People slowly suffocate and eventually drown. This anti vaping bullshit needs to be put into context with the risks of smoking cigarettes.
- BizarroLand 4y agoIt's like the scaremongering about vapes when there was a few people harmed by them, but the news media left out that the kids were vaping black market marijuana vapes contaminated with vitamin e oils and not legally registered and sold nicotine vapes or safely designed and regulated marijuana vapes. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/severe-lung-disease.html https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/s...
