This is extremely important. Washington Post is listed as the source but unfortunately I don't see it published there. The research shows that no vitamin E, flavorings or even nicotine or THC are needed to destroy lungs - just the pure carrier liquids in vapor form. They weaponize the body's own molecules..

Doctors and researchers scattered around the globe saw problems, but "nobody put two and two together."

"In Houston, students of Farrah Kheradmand, a physician researcher at Baylor College of Medicine, had gone to a nearby vape shop in 2016 and asked for the most popular mixture of propylene glycol and glycerin. They then tested it in mice for four months with and without nicotine. They used no flavorings. In summer 2017, one of her graduate students came to her with an unexpected finding. Key immune cells in their mice appeared highly abnormal - jammed with fat in the same way that the Portland doctors saw in their patient. "I won't forget it," Kheradmand recalls. "In 15 years of doing this, I had never seen anything like this."
In a study published this month, the Baylor researchers showed that the fat deposits were coming from inside the lungs. Kheradmand suspects that vape solvents disrupt the ability of cells to recycle lung surfactant, an oil-protein substance that is required to keep the air sacs open."
