There is no evidence: There is no evidence that e cigggs cause lipid pneumonia these ciggs do not cause pneumonia but may cause lung inflammation as they contain propylene glycol and glycerol, nicotine and other additives like nitrosaminnes which are toxic.And inflammation may lead to secondary infection, but nit lipid pnumonia.
