More non sequitors don’t help. I have not expressed any opinion on the general safety or carcinogenicity of e cigarettes. My only question was what evidence you have that a US teen got popcorn lung from vaping. I’m still waiting

5. “we cannot pinpoint the causative agent”. “he vaped a variety of substances”
6. Do you have the NLM link for the US case? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

1. None of this appears to relate to the US teen
2. The case you are citing is of a Canadian teen, too young to access legal regulated cannabis, so typically using a grey market source.
3. No vaping liquid was available for analysis
4. “suggestive of early bronchiolitis obliterans”

Yes, that is a study. Also an example of the non sequitor fallacy
So you still don’t have any evidence of e-cigarettes causing popcorn lung?

Is Massimo really a good source for medical information? Certainly wrong here. www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer...
Does vaping cause popcorn lung?
Popcorn lung is a type of lung disease, but it is not cancer. E-cigarettes don’t cause popcorn lung.
