Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I’m puffing a vape as I scroll because I believe it to be better than smoking a cigarette. Lab-made does not necessarily equal poison.
popcorn lung Diacetyl can be an ingredient in vapes. Hope you are being mindful of that. Natural doesn’t mean better for you. But few things are good to use daily.
Diacetyl hasn't been used in any reputable vape juice brand in like a decade(and is banned in EU), and there's also absolutely no evidence that the juices that did contained enough to cause popcorn lung. There's a reason it's called popcorn lung, because the most likely person to get it is one who works in a popcorn factory and is exposed to industrial quantities of Diacetyl, day after day for likely 10-12 hour shifts. The difference in dosage is astronomical. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you'll know how grease vapors in the air will absolutely coat you in a film of yuck. Imagine that same idea but instead of grease it's Diacetyl coating everyone and everything in the factory.
I don’t vape, so I have no clue about the safety that is claimed from atomizing substances. Thank you for informing me about how diacetyl has been pulled from most vapes, shows you how old my information is.
