A Vaping Illness That’s ‘Becoming an Epidemic’
Only tangentially relevant, but does anyone have any insight on how applicable this broader topic might (or not) be to the "essential oil" industry?Specifically talking about the business of "essential oil diffusers" and the sales of essential oils.  From my understanding, the diffusers are largely akin to ultrasonic humidifiers containing oil instead of water (though several forms of diffuser exist including ultrasonic, evaporative, heat, etc) -- which I would imagine is basically just putting oil into the air for later inhalation...The article mentions several times, and somewhat unsurprisingly, that the inhalation of oil is not good for you or for the health of human lungs.  Is this the case with all types & classes of oils (ie "essential oils"), or are oils used for vaping specifically bad/worse, or is there just not much data on the broader topic of inhalation of atomized oils yet?I've read the relevant Wikipedia articles and read through the studies/sources that are freely available, but if anyone has any further insight or knowledge I'd really love to better understand it.FWIW, my personal guess would be that the inhalation of most any non-gaseous matter is probably bad for you -- but if there's any science/data out there on it I'd love to hear about it.
