Yes, va**ng is toxic.
A U.S. teen developed "popcorn lung" after secretly va**ng for three years — a permanent, life-altering disease.
Officially known as bronchiolitis obliterans, the condition scars the lungs' tiniest airways, causing chronic coughing, wheezing, fatigue, and breathlessness. Although once linked to diacetyl exposure in popcorn factories, today's concern focuses on the wide mix of chemicals in e-cigarette vapours. Many flavouring agents, which are safe to eat, become harmful when heated and inhaled, directly damaging lung tissue and entering the bloodstream without filtration.
Va**ng has become especially popular among teenagers drawn to sweet, fruity flavours, creating a serious health risk. Over 180 flavouring agents are used in e-liquids, and heating them can produce unknown and toxic compounds.
Even though diacetyl has been removed from some products, substitutes like acetoin may be just as dangerous. Inhaled chemicals bypass the digestive system and liver, reaching the lungs and other organs in seconds. This direct exposure has been linked to other lung injuries too, like the Evali crisis of 2019. Studies show young va**rs report more breathing problems, even compared to smokers. Experts stress that without stronger regulations, clearer labeling, better ingredient testing, and public education, cases like this teen's could become more common. Va**ng might look harmless, but inhaling these chemical mixtures can cause permanent, life-shortening damage — a reality that needs urgent attention.

🛑 Va**ng may look trendy, but it could permanently damage your lungs. It’s not just smoke — it’s science.
