“Popcorn lung” is an irreversible illness that can be caused by vaping, according to an expert.
Although vaping may seem like a safer option than smoking, a renowned medical expert claims that it can cause “popcorn lung,” a condition that is irreversible once it strikes.
RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences chemistry professor Donal O’Shea has warned about the risks associated with flavor-infused vapes.
Particularly in light of the recent diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans, the irreversible illness that gives vapes its namesake.
It all comes down to what you’re inhaling, as O’Shea explains in an enlightening piece for The Conversation why prevention is the only practical way to avoid this crippling condition.
Why the Name “Popcorn Lung” Isn’t Just Terrifying? It’s not a TikTok exaggeration to call it “popcorn lung.”
