...According to the American Lung Association, (click here) using electronic cigarettes or vaping, particularly the flavored varieties, can cause popcorn lung.
Once the dangers associated with diacetyl were discovered in the early 2000s, the majority of popcorn producers stopped using the chemical. However, e-cigarette vapor has been proven to contain diacetyl.
A 2015 study of flavored e-cigarettes found that 39 out of 51 tested brands contained diacetyl. The same study concluded that most of these brands also contained the toxic chemicals acetoin and 2,3 pentanedione.
Manufacturers add diacetyl to the "e-juice" that is vaporized by e-cigarettes, most commonly to the strongly-flavored varieties. Diacetyl occurs in a wide range of different flavored e-cigarette products, ranging from vanilla to caramel and coconut.
The difference between diacetyl and butane are couple oxygens. It is highly organic, so it will become part of the body chemistry.

Diacetyl is part of dairy products.
Really?
Sour (cultured) cream, cultured buttermilk, and cultured butter
That really bothers me, because, when I think of milk I think of children.
Diacetyl is produced in two ways, naturally through fermentation to achieve a pH drop to sour what the target cream is and commercially through a process whereby there is dehydrogenation of 2,3-butanediol.
There it is. A four carbon molecule whereby the H s of the O-H molecule is removed through a chemical reaction that turns the H s in to H2 and the bond holding the OH molecule together becomes a double bond from the oxygen to the chain carbon atom.
Every bit of the molecule of Diacetyl is highly organically reactive. That is why it can be produced organically with a bacteria introduced to milk. The bacteria is harmless, but, Diacetyl weather produced organically or industrial is still Diacetyl.
The idea teens make well informed decisions about their bodies is a complete misunderstanding of growth and development. The Vapes, as well as cigarettes, need to be made illegal to anyone under the age of 18 and those caught using them provided education to what both Diacetyl and Tobacco will do to their lungs. This needs to be taught in health classes across the country beginning in the sixth grade. WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS.
The Vape manufacturers and any store selling these products need to be fined for allowing the sale to minors. Every principal across the USA regardless of a private, public or experimental school system (charter schools) is responsible for these products on their campus and need to carry out educational sessions for parents, students and teachers. Teachers should be empowered to remove any appliance used for vaping from a student without notice. Parents need to be made aware these appliances are illegal on any educational campus where minors are present and the school administrators will be held responsible FOR THEIR PRESENCE, whether being used or not. Vaping at any assembly on campus must be forbid and treated as cigarettes to a specific area away from cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking and vaping have different chemicals involved when incorporated into a person's metabolism, therefore, their isolation for smoking need to be at separate locations, but, AWAY FROM NON-SMOKERS.

Warning that teenage use of electronic cigarettes (click here) has reached “an epidemic proportion,” the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday gave Juul Labs and four other makers of popular vaping devices 60 days to prove they can keep them away from minors. If they fail, the agency said, it may take the flavored products off the market.
The order was part of a sweeping action that targeted both makers and sellers of e-cigarettes. The agency said it was sending warning letters to 1,100 retailers — including 7-Eleven stores, Walgreens, Circle K convenience shops and Shell gas stations — and issued another 131 fines, for selling e-cigarettes to minors.
In addition, the F.D.A. commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb said in a briefing that the agency would look closely at the manufacturers’ own internet storefronts. He flagged what he called “straw purchases” — bulk orders of the devices, which buyers in turn used to sell to minors.
Such practices, he said, should be readily apparent to product manufacturers.
“If the companies don’t know, or if they don’t want to know, “ he said, that such purchases are underway, “we’ll now be helping to identify it for them.”...
