Case of a 17-Year-Old with Popcorn Lung Reveals Hidden Dangers of Vaping

#popcornlung #bronchiolitisobliterans #inflammation #vaping A 17-year-old girl from Nevada has been diagnosed with a rare and irreversible lung disease known as popcorn lung, after secretly vaping for three years to cope with anxiety during the COVID-19 lockdown. Brianne, who began using disposable vapes at the age of 14, was hospitalized after she suddenly struggled to breathe and suffered panic attacks. Her mother, Christie Martin, rushed her to the emergency room—only to receive a shocking diagnosis: bronchiolitis obliterans, commonly known as popcorn lung. “She called me and said she couldn’t catch her breath,” said Christie. “It was terrifying. I never imagined it would be something this serious—or permanent.” What is Popcorn Lung? Popcorn lung is a serious and irreversible condition that leads to inflammation and scarring of the lung’s smallest airways, known as bronchioles. This damage restricts airflow and makes breathing increasingly difficult. The disease earned its nickname after cases emerged among workers in a microwave popcorn factory who were exposed to diacetyl, a buttery-flavored chemical used in popcorn flavoring. Diacetyl has since been detected in many vaping products, along with other harmful substances like ammonia, chlorine, formaldehyde, and metal fumes—all of which can contribute to lung damage.
