Yeah, pretty much every case of popcorn lung was in industrial workers, and one dude who had an addiction to huffing microwave popcorn.

What's conveniently left out is that cigarettes have an order of magnitude more diacetyl than vapes.

Plus, most eliquid manufacturers stopped using DA and AP a decade ago, and it was never used for fruity flavors.
