    We need stricter regulations on the production of disposables or ingredients. Like, using diacetyl which is known to cause popcorn lung. Or the whole vitamin E oil causing lung disease in black market vapes…

    Maybe something similar to the regulations around alcohol. We know alcohol is bad, but the long term effects are much different than going blind from methanol.

    Smoking or vaping isn’t good long term, but it shouldn’t be able to kill your lungs after a few uses.

      While the popcorn lung and vitamin e oil shit were both real they were not truly widespread problems and they were already regulated /legislated against.

      Those people broke the fucking law.

      More regulations don’t prevent lawbreakers.
