One of the first cases of the “popcorn disease” EVALI, which threatens all vapers, was recorded in Russia. Teenagers in Tomsk who suffered were fans of pipes, ashkas, charonchiks and other “mmm, how delicious.” The disease is also called a rare and incurable form of cancer.
One of the patients has already been officially diagnosed with EVALI. Another has “the toxic effects of smoking mixtures on the central nervous system.” An example of damaged lungs is in the photo.
What is known about the “popcorn disease”? This is the name given to bronchiolitis obliterans, a disease that affects the bronchioles. Manifests itself in the form of inflammation, scarring, and narrowing of the bronchioles. You can notice it by listening to the lungs, which produce a sound reminiscent of the crackling sound of popcorn popping.
EVALI was first diagnosed in 2019 in the United States. Today medicine has no effective treatment for this form of bronchiolitis. “Vaper disease” can develop into acute respiratory failure syndrome, the mortality rate of which is 30–50%. It also increases the risk of developing asthma by 30% and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by 75%.
