Will I get Popcorn Lung? What is it?

"Popcorn Lung" (bronchiolitis obliterans) is a condition linked to inhaling diacetyl, a chemical used in microwave popcorn flavouring in the early 2000s. While safe to consume, inhaling diacetyl can cause lung damage.
In the UK and EU, diacetyl is banned in e-liquids under TPD regulations.
