*"The problem with these studies is disentangling the effects of a smoking career (something more complicated than adjusting for current-, former-, never-smoking status) and subsequent vaping behaviour. Also, the relationships are complicated by reverse causation (was the vaping a response to smoking-induced respiratory symptoms?), a hard-to-define counterfactual (has the vaping displaced smoking or displaced abstinence?), and the fact that respiratory damage arises from cumulative exposure and vaping exposures may be adding incremental risk (would the subject have any symptoms if they hadn't smoked first?)."

*"The problem is that vegetable glycerin (glycerol) is not a lipid it is an alcohol. It cannot cause the lipoid pneumonia symptoms mentioned." (Bates) | |||
*"Endogenous lipoid pneumonia from VG (or PG) inhalation is a speculation and implausible...The experience in the US over the past several months clearly shows that the culprit for the acute lung intoxication cases are black market THC oils which were sold as THC oils, not e-cigarette products." (Farsalinos) | |||
*"visual assessment of lung HRCT scans showed no pathological findings in people vaping daily for more than 3.5 years. In particular, no CT features compatible with early signs of COPD (i.e. parenchymal micronodules, ground-glass opacity, or macroscopic emphysema) or lipoid pneumonia or popcorn lung disease were present."
