Factory worker, 57, is first Briton to die from lung disease 'linked to vaping'

[BlackCoffee]

57-year-old Briton, Terry Miller, has been named the world's first victim of the deadly disease lipoid pneumonia likely due to vaping.

The former factory worker died in 2010 and his widow Glynis has since criticised UK health watchdogs for their claims about the safety of e-cigarettes.

Doctors referred Mr Miller's death to an inquest after they found oil in his lungs. A coroner recorded an open verdict.

They “found oil in his lungs”... Enough said.

You can’t get lipoid pneumonia from from inhaling responsibly made e-liquid. Nothing to see here. As usual.

Died in 2010 .....

That's nothing, in a few weeks the news will filter through that the Chinese invented dying from vaping in the 16th century.

I'm surprised the Scottish haven't tried to claim it yet

The thing is (and don't shoot me for saying it)...

Vegetable Glycerin is a substance made from vegetable oil.

What if, when you stop smoking and start vaping you feel better because the oil is loosening the shite build up in the lungs over years of smoking, but then you start to deposit oily droplets there instead?

I've been vaping for 5 years now, and I have to say in the last 12 months when I started squonking and obviously inhaling more vapour that I got a cough and a wheeze.

I did have asthma as a child and the wheeze was very similar to that. I have since gone back to MTL at 50/50 at 6mg and the cough has gone, but there is still a shortness of breath.

I'm all for vaping, and I'm sure a lot of the stories are either fictional or because of the Vitamin E Acetate used to cut the THC in illicit eliquid. But, it does make you wonder...

Cheers for the well thought out response Tartan. I know we all are grateful to vaping coming about to get us of the ciggies, something I never thought I'd do. But it doesn't mean we all should do it mindlessly.

Sorry but it was the first response my brain thought of when reading what you wrote, remembering that any information on this forum can be picked up on google
Just imagine if someone took that phrase and ran with it as if it was true ?
