Harvard study: vaping has its own health risks

Sorry, OT hipsters

Diacetyl, a flavoring chemical linked to cases of severe respiratory disease, was found in more than 75 percent of flavored electronic cigarettes and refill liquids tested by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Two other related, potentially harmful compounds were also found in many of the tested flavors, which included varieties with potential appeal to young people such as cotton candy, “Fruit Squirts,” and cupcake.
The study was published online today in Environmental Health Perspectives.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the flavoring industry have warned workers about diacetyl because of the association between inhaling the chemical and the debilitating respiratory disease bronchiolitis obliterans, colloquially known as “popcorn lung” because it first appeared in workers who inhaled artificial butter flavor in microwave popcorn processing facilities.
Sorry, OT hipsters

I think inhaling anything into your lungs that isn't air poses a health risk.

FDA is starting to regulate this stuff. All these little shops that are opening up everywhere will bebe closing soon. Also, hipsters don't vape they smoke American Spirits.

Oxygen has a 100% mortality rate. Where's the study on that?

I am almost certain that everyday when I am alseep or awake I am participating in an action that is potentially a health risk. Breathing the air in your house is worse than breathing outside air even with all the allergens.

Even bacon can give you cancer. At some point you just have to say "screw it" and live your life while you can.

Aren't you a vagitarian, or some such confused creature?
