It's a scare piece.

For example:

"Diacetyl is frequently added to flavored e-liquid to enhance the taste"

BULLSHIT.

It's basically considered banned by all makers of e-liquid, nobody uses it since they found out it causes popcorn lung ... like 5 years ago, at least.

"The substance at the center of investigation is vitamin E. It’s often used as a thickening and delivery agent in e-liquid"
"vaping-related lipoid pneumonia is the result of inhaling oily substances found in e-liquid"

Absolutely no e-liquid should ever have any oily substances in them (apart from cannabis oil which is the same thing you put in your lungs if you smoke weed). The problem with the vitamin-E oil being referred to here was a result of unscrupulous drug dealers 'cutting' cannabis products with vitamin E oil.

Yet this article makes it sound like all vaping fluids contain oils. THEY DON'T. Vitamin E is not 'often used', it's NEVER used by anyone but street dealers.

This article is fucking BULLSHIT.
