says who that one report you read? Do you even know the reason why they got popcorn lungs?

because vaping actually opens the aveoli more so penetrate deeper into the lungs and the condensate is unable to be cleared properly resulting in flavorings pooling and irritating those tiny air passages causing inflammation hampering gas exchange and ultimately scarring totally blocking the exchange , when this happens  you need new lungs

Actually what happened,  the people in question didn't change their atomizers after the stated two weeks, think they didnt change it, for several months. They were inhaling droplets of of hot liquid, thus caused the issue with their lungs.

After workers at a factory that packaged microwave popcorn were found to have bronchiolitis obliterans more often than other people, some companies stopped using diacetyl as a flavoring. But it's still used in some electronic cigarette flavors in the US. Many e-cigarette makers state they aren't using this chemical in their products and its use in e-cigarettes is banned in Europe.

Another common cause is acetaldehyde, a chemical found in the smoke from marijuana and some electronic cigarettes. Acetaldehyde also can damage the lining of your mouth, throat, and stomach.

Other chemicals that can cause popcorn lung include:

  • Metal oxide fumes, a common byproduct of welding
  • Formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical used in some glues and building materials
  • Sulfur dioxide, a pollutant released by burning fossil fuels
  • Ammonia
  • Chlorine
  • Nitrogen oxides
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Sulfur mustard, a chemical weapon known as "mustard gas"

The changing of cartridges would have only slowed the development as it is the exposure to the chemicals that irritate and inflame the aveoli

Yes and they have changed the chemicals to meet UK requirements.

The alcohol lobby has a lot of clout with the government and media, so it will be very difficult to ban in advertising. Though not impossible. 

Banning Smoking advertising does not really stop people from indulging either. It just shifts it underground away from public eyes. 

That's the thing though isnt it. It's like how America bombed afghanistan yet left the poppy fields standing!  That's why the drug "smuggling" from Afghanistan to Pakistan and then Punjab and the rest of India is not being stopped.

 Movies and music videos make people curious and want to try that stuff, it actually encourages people.

In Pubjabi/indian movies before the movie they make an announcement that alcohol and smoking is injurious to your health. Yet then they show characters partying and having "fun"

I think the onus should be on the individual to exert restraint and self control. Showing a character with particular habits and doing certain acts shouldn't be an endorsement to the audience to follow suit.

Rappers and the whole rap culture that teens including pubjabi teens look upto basically promotes drugs.

These rappers are the worst kind of people that any kid can look up to. 

Just money, s3x and drugs and that's it. That is all they rap about, talk about and that's all they post photos of on social media. 

Rappers are a disgrace, theres videos of some actually p1ssing on heaps of $$$  basically showing that they have so much money that they can even p1ss on it. 

What a disgrace. And that is what kids look up to these days.

Smoking in the UK has not stopped even though it is injurious to your health. People are aware of it through all the advertising attempts. 

If you go into a shop, you have those shutters so people cannot see the cigarettes. 

The government makes billions out of taxes from cigarette revenue, so they play a double game. 

Advertise that it is bad for you and make money at the same time.

They have done a cost/benefit analysis. The tax revenue from cigarettes is more than the cost to the NHS for heart disease and cancer.

True, true. When the target population is impressionable and easily led, to put it kindly lol, some type of censorious measures might need to be implemented.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
