I think there were some rumors that some vapes were using diacetyl to get a softer flavor.
It’s the same chemical used for fake butter. Perfectly safe when you eat it. Deadly when you inhale it directly into your lungs…

It was self-banned by the industry in around 2014 and nobody has used it since. Popcorn lung was then used by the tobacco companies and the FDA to pass regulations which handed the entire industry to big tobacco. Since then the only incidents I've seen of popcorn lung came from sketchy Chinese THC vapes.

It would have to be, nicotine has never been shown to cause cancer (just tar from smoke inhalation).
Vaping is objectively better for you than smoking. Just try going from smoking a pack a day to only vaping and you will notice immediately. Im not saying it's good for you, but it is nowhere near as bad as smoking, especially if you buy high quality juice.

Chronically inhaling anything other than air is generally not good for you. You just weren't made to do it. Eventually, it can cause adaptation of your cells which can increase the risk of mutation and cancer. It should be clarified whether you're talking about the delivery mechanism (vape) or the chemicals delivered.
I'll say, a similar thing (that it's mostly or completely safe) was believed about weed for a while until we got more data. It would be wise to avoid absolute statements about a relatively new question.
I believe some data is out there already about certain tongue and throat cancers, but obviously nothing super concrete bc then we'd probably all know about it via the usual talking points.

I tried to link to the UK's NHS website, but my comment was removed because this subreddit has a "no external links" policy. This text comes from the UK NHS:
Myth 7: Vaping causes 'popcorn lung'
Fact
Vaping does not cause "popcorn lung", the common name for a rare disease called bronchiolitis obliterans.The disease was found in a group of factory workers exposed to a chemical (diacetyl) used to flavour popcorn.
Diacetyl is contained in cigarette smoke, but it is banned as an ingredient in UK-regulated nicotine vapes and e-liquids.0

The Inhalation of Harmful Chemicals Can Cause Irreversible Lung Damage and Lung Disease
In January 2018, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine1 released a consensus study report that reviewed over 800 different studies.
That report made clear: using e-cigarettes causes health risks. It concluded that e-cigarettes both contain and emit a number of potentially toxic substances. The Academies' report also states there is moderate evidence that youth who use e-cigarettes are at increased risk for cough and wheezing and an increase in asthma exacerbations.
A study from the University of North Carolina found that the two primary ingredients found in e-cigarettes—propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin—are toxic to cells and that the more ingredients in an e-liquid, the greater the toxicity.
E-cigarettes produce a number of dangerous chemicals including acetaldehyde, acrolein, and formaldehyde. These aldehydes can cause lung disease, as well as cardiovascular (heart) disease.
E-cigarettes also contain acrolein, a herbicide primarily used to kill weeds. It can cause acute lung injury and COPD and may cause asthma and lung cancer.
Both the U.S. Surgeon General and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine have warned about the risks of inhaling secondhand e-cigarette emissions, which are created when an e-cigarette user exhales the chemical cocktail created by e-cigarettes.
In 2016, the Surgeon General concluded that secondhand emissions contain, "nicotine; ultrafine particles; flavorings such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease; volatile organic compounds such as benzene, which is found in car exhaust; and heavy metals, such as nickel, tin, and lead."
The Food and Drug Administration has not found any e-cigarette to be safe and effective in helping people who use tobacco products to quit.

Which is what big tobacco used to take over the industry, raise the nicotine content, and prevent vaping from being a smoking cessation tool. Vaping has always been safer than smoking. The only valid debate was whether it was 98% or 99% safer.

u/rraattbbooyy May 31 '26
“The only debate was whether it was 98% or 99% safer” is revisionist history. Most experts agreed vaping was likely less harmful than smoking, but there was never a consensus that it was virtually risk-free. The actual debate was how much safer it was and what long-term health risks we hadn’t discovered yet.

u/Pandelein Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
The studies have been in for over a decade.
Cell-regeneration testing: tobacco smoke pretty much destroys it, weed slows it down by like 5%, and vape did nothing whatsoever. If it’s not destroying cells or inhibiting regeneration, it’s not likely to cause cancer.
Mystery chemicals? It’s propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, two things almost everyone gets exposed to, plus some food-grade flavour, and nicotine.
Passive smoke? No, it’s just vapour. Fire risk? No more likely than any other battery powered device.
E-waste? Wouldn’t be nearly as big of an issue if govts stopped fucking around and we could go back to bod/mods instead of these disposable imports.I’m not going out there saying anyone should start vaping, but I’m goddamn sick to death of governments learning absolutely nothing from past attempts at prohibition: it leads to more dangerous knockoff products to get around the laws, and keeps people smoking the known-to-be-more-harmful cigarettes for longer.
Most major public health bodies now agree that, while vaping is not risk-free, it is substantially less harmful than smoking combustible tobacco because it eliminates tar and the thousands of products of combustion created by burning tobacco. Smoking remains extraordinarily dangerous by comparison.
It’s any two of corruption, incompetence, or bribery from the tobacco lobby. Could be all three.

Logically, by not inhaling by-products of tobacco consumption you avoid tar build up in your lungs, carbon monoxide and carcinogenic chemicals like TSNAs which only exist in tobacco. To me the answer is quite clear that no one can find one additive in good-quality e-liquids that remotely approaches the multiple pathways by which cigarette smoke kills you. The risk of vaping is significantly lower than cigarette smoking.
While named brands like Juul tested their product and got FDA approval, they got clamped down on so instead we have no-name Chinese bullshit. Testing reveals they’re crappy quality, and their heating elements release heavy metals into the vapor. That’s not good, but there too it’s worth noting the amount of toxic shit that comes out of a lit cigarette.
If you smoke, vape or switch to nicotine pouches. If you don’t use any nicotine, nothing can be less risky than continuing not to.

In this case, it is linked because the actual purpose of vaping is to quit cigarettes. So as a substitute for smokers, it’s significantly safer and should be recommended.
With regard to people who currently do neither, obviously it’s not worth taking up vaping.

The problem is that they aren't really mandated in what they are allowed or not allowed to have.
All the ones available in my country (Australia) are illegal imports. Who knows what is actually in those vapes and how they are manufactured. They could put anything in them and the consumer has no idea.
Atleast with cigarettes they are heavily mandated and scrutinized, you can look up everything that's in each brands cigarettes. Plus we have decades of research into the health problems from them. Vapes are pretty new, so even if we knew exactly what was in them we don't know how they'll effect people in 10-20-50 years.

Health.gov.au says that 85% or more vapes that are being used today are illegal imports.
So my point is basically 100% valid. 85% of people vaping and probably the 70% of people smoking have no idea what's actually in the product and can't even look it up because we don't even know if they are legitimate products from overseas or knock offs.

Vaping is still bad, weed used oil from a plant and tobaco needs a special typen of oil so most use glycol which is commonly known as antifreeze. Both are not good in your lungs but not as bad as smoke. Both cause short term irritation and long term damage. Weed vapes are considerably better regulated though and can be much less damaging because of it

Do you really think there are people out there that have been vaping antifreeze for 15+ years? Antifreeze usually contains ethylene glycol, vape liquid contains propylene glycol. Propylene glycol can be used as antifreeze in situations where a nontoxic antifreeze is required.
Vaping ethylene glycol is probably worse for you than smoking but I'm just guessing on that one.1

Oh huh, the more you know. I heard at some point that they used glycol and thought "thats what's in my antifreeze concentrate". Good to know that's it's not the same but I know that tobaco vapes are still pretty gross in the US, even if they're not huffing antifreeze lol

Its not that I think it's common sense, its that it is.
I can't believe I have to spell this out, but brain damage (which is what inhaling the chemicals from a vape does) is not better than inhaling carcinogens from a cigarette into your lungs. Chemicals from a vape, such as Diacetyl, Acrolein, Propylene Glycol, Formaldehyde (used in taxidermy.) aren't meant to be inhaled. In fact, I could argue that vaping may be slightly worse. I like how you delete your comment where you insulted me by directly calling me an idiot, that'll also have me rolling considering the irony. I'm not interested in an argument over the semantics of which poison is worse.

I really doubt a medical professional told you vaping caused popcorn lung at least I hope not. Google will tell you everything you need to know about the myth of popcorn lung from vaping. I just checked the NHS this is what they say about Popcorn lung ….
The disease was found in a group of factory workers exposed to a chemical (diacetyl) used to flavour popcorn.
Diacetyl is contained in cigarette smoke, but it is banned as an ingredient in UK-regulated nicotine vapes and e-liquids.
Fact Vaping does not cause "popcorn lung", the common name for a rare disease called bronchiolitis obliterans.
So yeah you should have a word with your doctor.

u/OfficialDrakoak May 31 '26
The only confirmed cases of popcorn lung linked to vaping were from those bootleg vapes that had diacetyl in it years ago. Nicotine vapes that you get at smoke shop, gas station, store, etc from any normal reputable brand dont contain diacetyl. And theres no cases of bronchiolitis obliterans connected to vaping outside of those diacetyl incedents. Im not here to argue that vaping isnt bad for you or anything, but when anyone mentions popcorn lung within the context of vaping its really silly.

Vaping isn't healthy but depending on how much you're vaping it could be a lot more healthy than smoking regular cigarettes. I hate that everyone believes what they see online now. I know someone who would go through one nicotine Vape a month which is about equivalent to 25 cigarettes apparently. He saw online that cigarettes are healthier so he started to smoke about three cigarettes a day instead. I tried to explain that there is no way that going through one or even two Vapes a month is worse for you than smoking literally 90 cigarettes a month. He kept repeating that he heard that vaping causes irreversible damage while smoking cigarettes the damage to your lungs can heal...

So vaping, especially vaping a device that's pretty much depleted CAN expose you to carcinogens. However, smoking does every time. So smoking is a larger risk than vaping. That being said, people shouldn't vape. However, people are addicted to nicotine, and if they have to choose between smoking tobacco or vaping, vaping is safer.
And just because people used to do it, doesn't make it safe lmao. There's other factors to consider there. Like how they didn't have vapes, or modern medicine.

It’s not safe and probably does cause cancer like some have said will happen but I think soon we will see conditions that don’t normally happen like with tobacco because it is true that a lot of not all contain heavy metals or things that aren’t even in cigarettes so that’s an added risk as well as conditions similar to like “popcorn lung” or like “coal miners lung” as in something will probably happened and has actually already been happing that is like a vape specific lung condition. So it’s not safe like with most vices and it’s just a repeat of how cigarettes and tobacco were thought of as safe and health related for weight loss or working longer or etc even though even like the guys like Einstein or Oppenheimer and even anyone who isn’t that smart but has common sense probably recognized that “yeah well you put any form of smoke or harmful unnecessary things into you’re lungs or body it’s definitely not good for you and has risks” if people wanna smoke or vape that’s fine I smoke and usually don’t vape but tried it for a while it’s just dangerous and neglectful to tell people it’s safe or that it’s a safe alternative and it was originally advertised early on as slightly safer version and way to quit smoking cigarettes or tobacco.
