An Ontario teen who was put on life-support with a severe vaping-related illness may be the first documented case of a different form of damage linked to e-cigarettes, according to a study published Thursday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The study suggests the teen's condition is more in line with "popcorn lung" — named for factory workers who developed lung disease after breathing in heated flavouring — as opposed to the illness that's been dubbed EVALI.
After being told vaping was safer than smoking cigarettes to end up with obliterative bronchiolitis seems a cruel trick. It's a rotten miserable lung condition. It's bad enough to get it in old age - I know, I've got it - but a lot of people who vape are young. They should have a long healthy life ahead of them.
Now they need to retrench and find a new way of life.
I wish it didn't have the innocent sounding soubriquet of popcorn lung : that gives and impression of a fun, quite lively condition. The press needs to pick up on it being a chronic disease of the small airways, with no cure, that is life restricting at best and life limiting.
