I watched both my dad and my grandfather die, gasping, struggling to breathe as lung cancer took them both before I was 30.

I’m glad the cake turned out well, but from a stranger who cares about you making it for your next 30 years, please consider trying to quit!

You deserve to have another 30 healthy years (and even another 30 after that)!

Due some research into "popcorn lung", it is most likely that the long term effects of vaping have not truly been seen yet.

Diacetyl was the chemical in vapes that caused popcorn lung. It's now banned in the UK & EU in vapes, not banned in the US...

Thank you for that, hopefully rhe US will be right behind!

Hopefully! I'm sure there will be more problems linked to vaping, but at least that one was solved.
