1. EVALI (E-cigarette or Va**ng Product Use-Associated Lung Injury)
• Description: A serious, sometimes fatal lung disease first identified in 2019.
• Cause: Linked primarily to va**ng products containing THC and vitamin E acetate, but also reported in nicotine-only v**es.
• Symptoms: Shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
• Effect: Causes severe lung inflammation and damage.

2. Popcorn Lung (Bronchiolitis Obliterans)
• Description: A rare disease that damages the small airways in the lungs, leading to scarring and narrowing.
• Cause: Some flavorings in v**e liquids (like diacetyl) have been linked to this condition, though it’s less common now as many manufacturers avoid diacetyl.
• Symptoms: Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath that worsen over time.

3. Chronic Bronchitis & COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
• Description: Long-term inflammation of the airways, which can contribute to or worsen COPD.
• Cause: Ongoing irritation and inflammation from inhaling v***r and chemicals.
• Symptoms: Chronic cough, mucus production, shortness of breath.

4. Asthma Exacerbation and New Onset Asthma
• Description: Va**ng can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms.
• Effect: Increased airway reactivity, inflammation, and attacks.

5. General Lung Inflammation and Damage
• Description: Even without a clear disease label, va**ng can cause inflammation in lung tissue, leading to decreased lung function and higher susceptibility to infections.

Key Takeaway:

While va**ng is often marketed as safer than smoking, it is not safe for the lungs. The full long-term effects are still being studied, but the evidence shows that it can cause significant lung injury and disease.
