         | As far as I'm aware - you are correct. the whole popcorn lung

         | working with that chemical in concentrations higher than you
         | would ever see even in a cigarettes chain-smoker.

         | This move made sense before they owned major players in the
         | E-juice/E-cig business (juuls) - but now seems weird to push
         | again.
