In a previous blog entry, I mentioned knowing what is in your E-Juice, as some substances in your E-Juice could prove to be devastating to your health. Recently there has been quite a stir in the electronic cigarette community regarding the chemical known as diacetyl in E-Juices. Diacetyl is an FDA approved substance that gives a buttery and creamy taste to substances. When ingested it is safe, in fact many of the foods you buy at the grocery store (especially the ones with artificial flavoring) most likely has diacetyl in it. However, when copious amounts of diacetyl is inhaled, it can severely damage your lungs. Long term exposure to diacetyl via inhalation can cause something called obliterative bronchiolitis (also known as popcorn lung) which is a rare syndrome that hinders respiratory function. Obliterative bronchiolitis is when the bronchioles in the lungs are being compressed and narrowed by scar tissue and/or inflammation. Symptoms include severe shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. What is so scary about this disease is it is irreversible, and the worst cases of obliterative bronchiolitis would result in lung transplant.
Christopher Snowdon reported the details of the story back in February. He wrote:
By opposing the classification of e-cigarettes as tobacco products, the e-cigarette associations have been everything they can to avoid regulations that treat these products in the same way. The reason is simple: such regulations would give cigarettes a huge competitive advantage in the market place. Laws that categorize e-cigarettes the same way as tobacco products are essentially protective legislation for tobacco cigarettes. By fighting such a classification, e-cigarette associations are doing what they can to reject the idea of this protective legislation so that they can gain the upper hand on cigarettes and eventually, make these products obsolete.
