獨立的建築和資源共享處「認知症」「癌症病人病人資源中心」

 

幾十年前，英國開始有「癌症病人病人資源中心」運動，現在許多地方都有這種獨立的建築和資源共享處。

可是嚴重的病演化中。這幾天「認知症」很多人談，這也是社會要全面正視的。

Experts say that flavored e-cigarettes can cause irreversible lung damage.專家表示，調味電子煙會造成不可逆的肺部損傷。

專家表示，調味電子煙會造成不可逆的肺部損傷。

一名美國青少年在偷偷吸食電子煙三年後患上了“爆米花肺”，這是一種永久性的、足以改變生命的疾病。

這種疾病的正式名稱是閉塞性細支氣管炎，它會損傷肺部最細小的氣道，導致慢性咳嗽、喘息、疲勞和呼吸困難。

雖然這種疾病曾與爆米花工廠接觸雙乙醯有關，但如今人們的擔憂集中在電子煙蒸氣中含有的各種化學物質。許多調味料雖然可以安全攝入，但在加熱吸入後會產生毒性——在沒有人體天然過濾防禦機制的情況下，會直接損害肺部和血液。

電子煙的興起，尤其是在那些喜歡水果和糖果口味的年輕人中，已經開闢了一個危險的健康新領域。電子煙液中使用了超過180種調味劑，其中一些在加熱時會分解成未經測試或有害的化合物，專家表示迫切需要採取監管行動。這名青少年的慘痛診斷清楚地提醒我們，曾經被認為無害的食物中的化學物質在吸入電子煙時可能會造成災難性的後果，這凸顯了更嚴格的管控和公眾意識的必要性，以防止造成不可逆轉的損害。

 Experts say that flavored e-cigarettes can cause irreversible lung damage.

A U.S. teen developed "popcorn lung" after secretly vaping for 3 years — a permanent, life-altering disease.

Officially known as bronchiolitis obliterans, the condition scars the lungs' tiniest airways, causing chronic coughing, wheezing, fatigue, and breathlessness.

Although once associated with diacetyl exposure in popcorn factories, today's concern centers on the wide array of chemicals found in e-cigarette vapors. Many of these flavoring agents, while safe to ingest, become toxic when heated and inhaled — delivering direct harm to the lungs and bloodstream without the body's natural filtration defenses.

The rise of vaping, particularly among young people drawn to fruity and candy-like flavors, has created a dangerous new health frontier. With over 180 flavoring agents used in e-cigarette liquids — some breaking down into untested or harmful compounds when heated — experts say regulatory action is urgently needed. The teen's devastating diagnosis serves as a stark reminder that inhaled chemicals once deemed harmless in food can have catastrophic effects when vaped, underscoring the need for stricter controls and public awareness to prevent irreversible damage.
