Yeah. Bot ass muddafukas
I don't vape. I got weak baby lungs. X-ray tech once even said I got smaller than usual lungs which makes sense why I can't take deep breaths.
As an occasional pot user I'll only consume it. I've had people want me to take a hit or vape it and every time I end up hacking violently for the next hour, not only that, but there's been times where my throat closes up and I can't breathe. Had that happen when I vaped DMT. I don't know if this happens to other people and they just ignore it or if that's my small lungs/ asthma making it impossible to smoke. Cuz if this is a normal experience I'm not sure how people put themselves through that kind of pain. I see other people they don't seem to need to violently cough, so I think I just can't handle it

Vaping is still fairly new. I think people aren't so concerned with health factors as much as they should be as there hasn't been much time for studies to show the long term effects.
I've been orally fixated for as long as I can remember, so vaping appeals to me, especially with all the nice smells and flavors. But, I fear the heath problems which may come in the future. I don't want to risk that.
Popcorn lung (bronchiolitis obliterans) cases are on the rise, and it sounds painful. It just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I'm torn as to whether manufacturers should be held responsible. People are going to do what they want. It's a personal choice whether to vape or not, and I'm not opposed to being able to deciding for oneself. However, I wouldn't mind seeing vapes off the shelves. But take them off, and something else will be on them in no time. But, if manufacturers know of the health complications, maybe they should be held responsible?

They should, as much as cigarette manufacturers are. The difficult case here is the dilution percentage of nicotine within the vape solution.
Low % is fine, but anything above the threshold is risky. To me it's the same case as the amount of cigarettes one person can smoke a day.
It's the manufacturers responsibility to provide the risk factors on their product.
A little fact about me.
Ready?
I'm a vaper.
I have done so much research and while I will agree that not smoking OR vaping is the healthiest option... a life of inhaling THOUSANDS of chemicals including tar from cigarettes is far worse than (most of the time) 3 or 4 ingredients (Vegetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol for a base, flavoring, and nicotine) Ive seen several studies and Ive lost count of articles. But I know one thing.
People who vape THC (with additives mainly) and/ or blackmarket juices while they don't know what's in them (because non-regulated manufacturing) AND people who are careless with their devices like carrying loose batteries in your pocket... are just ignorant. People need to invest time in multiple sources of research, and not only focus on one side of the argument. Look at all sides. Gather lots of info.
50 mgs of nicotine is an insane amount... probably refers to an entire cartridge -or tank... you cannot possibly vape that much at a time. I personally only use 3mg and that is the norm for tank vapers like me. 12-24mg is frowned upon in the vaping community and most stores will only go up to 6mg. I don't do the cartridges and those Juul devices and the company that makes them are too blame for most of this uprising about vaping. They did target to teens.
Ive vaped for about 5 years on and off... I can pick it up and put it down.
Here at least, you cannot vape indoors. Just like smoking. There are signs everywhere.
My bf had smokers lungs before he switched to vaping, after a while of just vaping, his lungs were almost that of a nonsmoker. My lungs are clear too, but I never was a smoker... I picked up vaping to help with my food cravings.
Popcorn lung is from inhaling a huge amount of Diacetyl, a buttery flavoring agent used in popcorn and sometimes in vape juices, and you would have to inhale huge amount which I don't use juices that contain that anyway. Again, do the research, this is your lungs were talking about here.
Research every aspect. The ingredients, the flavorings, the companies involved, make sure it's regulated, dont be irresponsible with battery storage, or attempt to experiment with making your own coils if you don't know what you're doing, you could blow up your face with unregulated devices... dont vape illegal or black market stuff, dont vape extreme amounts of nicotine, youll get sick and/or nicotine poison... don't be rude and vape in close proximity of peole without their permission...
Theres more but i'm too tired lol.
I think vaping and smoking should continue to be restricted because nonsmokers deserve clean air.
I think i'm done lol.

By the way, the other ingredients in cigarettes are more addictive than nicotine! I would give sources but I don't feel like going through all that lol. Its easy to dig up info if you want, but a lot of sources base their opinions on media which is vastly misinformed.
