And, of course, <strong>the special interests<\/strong> against vaping would encourage that type of thinking.\u00a0 But, they are wrong. \u00a0Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, most Americans thought e-cigs were safer than tobacco.\u00a0 However, a recent study conducted by <strong>Harvard University<\/strong> showed that <strong><u>more<\/u> people have a negative view of e-cigs than previously.<\/strong> \u00a0It has also been shown that <strong><em>millions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into negative publicity regarding e-cigs.<\/em><\/strong> In California alone, millions of dollars have been spent in campaigns to <strong>create fear about vaping.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A government-funded website talks about the horrors of <strong>vaping nicotine<\/strong>.\u00a0 The website also encourages people to follow <strong>FDA <\/strong>recommendations and <strong>Big Pharma medication<\/strong> <strong>therapies <\/strong>to help quit smoking. Sounds like a plot to take pills. Those are <strong>the threats that keep people smoking tobacco<\/strong> and trying an occasional medication to help quit. These <strong>medications<\/strong> have more <strong>side effects<\/strong> than there are ants in an ant hill. <strong>Who benefits? \u00a0Big Pharma! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take <strong>popcorn lung <\/strong>for instance.\u00a0 <strong>Diacetyl <\/strong>(the ingredient that causes popcorn lung) is an <strong>approved food additive<\/strong> that tastes like butter. The people who get <strong>popcorn lung<\/strong> are those who work in factories that produce <strong>microwave popcorn<\/strong>.\u00a0 Another interesting fact is that there is <strong>more diacetyl in tobacco smoke<\/strong> than in vapor from an e-cig.\u00a0 Also, there have been <strong>no known cases of vapers contracting popcorn lung from vaping<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s simple. \u00a0Purchase <strong>high-quality e-liquids<\/strong> from <strong>top quality manufacturers<\/strong> who do not put diacetyl in their e-juices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, happy vaping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question asked most often about vaping is \u201cdoes vaping damage the lungs?\u201d\u00a0 If you do the research and ask your friends and family this question, you would probably find that most of your friends and family believe that vaping is as bad as smoking.
