EXPERTS WARN: Flavored VAPES Could Cause PERMANENT Lung DAMAGE 🫁 A U.S. teenager developed a rare, irreversible condition known as popcorn lung after secretly va**ng flavored e-cigarettes for three years.
Medically called bronchiolitis obliterans, the disease scars the tiniest airways in the lungs, causing chronic cough, wheezing, fatigue, and breathlessness that never fully go away.
Once linked to factory workers inhaling diacetyl from buttery popcorn flavoring, attention has now shifted to the flavoring chemicals used in e-cigarettes—many of which are safe to eat, but toxic when heated and inhaled.
Va**ng bypasses the body’s natural defenses, sending unfiltered v***r straight into the bloodstream and lungs. And with over 180+ flavoring agents commonly used in e-liquids—some of which break down into harmful compounds at high temperatures—the health risks are still being uncovered.
As flavored v**es surge in popularity, especially among teens and young adults, doctors and scientists say we’re facing a growing health threat—one that could leave lasting scars long before we understand the full cost.
