Cases of severe lung injury linked to vaping have raised concerns among health professionals, especially regarding its long-term effects. A notable case involved a 17-year-old girl developing "popcorn lung," highlighting the irreversible nature of some vaping-related conditions. EVALI, a serious lung injury associated with vaping, resulted in nearly 3000 cases and 68 deaths in 2019, primarily among teens and young adults. Experts express concern over the lack of knowledge surrounding the safety of vaping, given the complex chemical interactions involved in the aerosol inhaled by users.
"Occasionally some of the most severe cases make the headline, but bubbling underneath all of this is the slow and prolonged damage that vapers are suffering in their lungs."
"What has never been tested is to put [these chemicals] into a device and heat them and inhale them."
