The more I read about vaping the more it sounds like dehydration of the lungs.

The FDA has nothing on this? Was there some kind of "Trump never mind it isn't important" going on? I never liked the appearance of the vaping. It has a huge water vapor exhaled as opposed to any inhalation. It clearly looked to me the PHYSICS of the vaping was robbing the lungs of water vapor. Nothing else can do that.

A chest X-ray of Adam Hergenreder's lungs revealed inflammation, likely from vaping, according to doctors at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where the 18-year-old from Gurnee was hospitalized Aug. 31. Hergenreder is one of dozens hospitalized across Illinois, and hundreds across the country, for a respiratory illness likely linked to vaping.

Adam Hergenreder (click here) started vaping about two years ago at age 16. The mint and mango flavors were his favorites.

Now Hergenreder, of Gurnee, is hospitalized and unable to breathe without a steady flow of oxygen through tubes affixed to his nostrils. Doctors have told the 18-year-old that images of his lungs from a chest X-ray look like those of a man in his 70s. His lungs may never be the same again, and vaping is likely to blame.

Hergenreder is one of at least 27 patients with a history of vaping who have been hospitalized in recent weeks in Illinois for an unknown respiratory illness. Last month, one of those patients died, and more than 200 other cases have been reported in 24 other states as of late last week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency is assisting the Illinois Department of Public Health in investigating the cases, along with the Food and Drug Administration...

The inhalation experience is very different from the testimony of a user. The exhaling has a much larger volume than anything seen with cigarette smokers. This demonstrator doesn't even believe lung inhalation is important. So, the vapor coming out of her "mouth" is far greater than cigarette smokers. There needs to be research conducted. I guarantee the physics with the "experience" with the "vap cloud" brings interaction with the moist mucous membranes.

The vap mechanism uses coils and a process that is carried out by a mechanical device. That is not the same as cigarettes. This is an interaction between a mechanical device and the mouth and lung mucous membranes. It is completely different and it is dealt to the consumer as a benign process without INFORMATION OF THE INDUSTRY.

No one wants cigarettes to be popular. But, I think vaping is dangerous in it's current form and culture.
