"Popcorn Lung" was coined when workers at a microwave popcorn packaging facility developed the disease after inhaling diacetyl, one of the chemicals used to create fake butter flavor. Diacetyl, and its many chemical cousins, create candy flavors, too. Fine to ingest; dangerous to inhale. These same chemicals are often found in e-cigs/vapes.

@TahirTturk @jgitchell @ecigsummit1 ‘We’ and ‘they’ and an insulting dismissal of the views of the people you apparently see as ‘other’, yet claim to be a warrior for. A perfect example of why you shouldn’t be anywhere near public health.

Dr Tahir Turk @tahirturk.bsky.social
@jgitchell @Twigolet @ecigsummit1 Drug pushing now encroaching into public discourse. We know how the industry works, even if they continue to be in denial of the evidence on the penetration of big tobacco vapes. "Protecting something that we love" is simply a perverse twisting of addiction behaviour.

@SwitchFinder @fthirlway @imaracingmom And on the expos - yes - I remember going to one where there were more women in playboy bunny type costumes (walking on stilts for some reason) than female customers, and wondering what the hell I was doing there.

@SwitchFinder @fthirlway @imaracingmom I should say though, that as a female vaper I never felt excluded in the early days, which were more ‘men in sheds’ than ‘beards and ear stretchers’, which came a bit later, along with the the expos.

@michelleminton I think it was originally based on some corky thought that 2ml of 20mg e-liquid wouldn't exceed the (now outdated) 60 mg LD for nicotine if kids would accidentally manage to open and ingest the contents of a tank. 🙄 Maybe @Twigolet @Alan_Beard1 @NannyFreeState know better?

@cjsnowdon Why is anyone giving them the time of day! Just need to tell them to send the police if they believe an offence is being committed, then shut the door on them.

This is a good one. Case number cranks try to “serve notice” on a vax centre claiming that no one knows what’s in the vaccines and are given a leaflet explaining what’s in the vaccines.
Covid Radicals 🇺🇦@CovidRadicals

NEW:⛔️💉#Antivaxxers target a vax centre in #Hartford, #Northwich. Usual script claiming a Criminal Investigation is taking place and anyone administering vaccines is also involved in the “biggest crime investigation in human history” Fact: there is no live investigation 1/4

Doctors can list up to three factors on a death certificate, one primary and up to two contributing. As Emma points out in this thread, there are lots of common underlying health conditions, including obesity. Most old people have at least one. You may have one yourself. 7/
Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺@MonkEmma

Let’s take a look at the definitions used by the ONS: They use the term “due to COVID-19” when referring only to deaths with an underlying cause of death as COVID-19 From their weekly reports we know they use the term “involving covid” and “due to covid” to differentiate. 4/

The idea that only 17,000 people have died of Covid in England and Wales has taken off on smiley/lobotomy Twitter. Obviously, this is not true. Thread. 1/

@Twigolet @Alan_Beard1 @Jdunne9407uk @abdulBqadir this is a funny thing to say too isn’t it “so that they can be confident they are not exposing themselves to far greater levels of toxic substances than is allowed under the law.”

@Alan_Beard1 @Jdunne9407uk @abdulBqadir Well, even if it were true that people are exposed to far more nicotine than they would be from cigarettes (which is doubtful given what we know about self titration), it would not follow that they are “even worse for their health”. I’ll be interested to see any clarification.

@Twigolet @Jdunne9407uk We know that the media are frequently guilty of misquoting.... The full quote from @abdulBqadir accurately warns against black market products. The shorter quote could be misconstrued as referring to all legal products imo. Hopefully the Councillor will clarify 🙏

@BazzFreeman Yep. But the people who say such things are a pretty small minority, and in my experience anyway, mostly restricted to new switchers.

@Twigolet Lol. Just funny how they have to make everyone as miserable as they are. No, I have no regrets. Even stupid stuff I did in my 65 years (last 11 smoke free thanks to vaping) probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Why worry about the past when there's future right there.

I don’t know anything about this Wordle thing but I’m really not interested in seeing your score, or whatever it is.
