Though lately I've been enjoying a little bit of Red Star nutritional yeast on top of my popcorn, too. (Nutritional yeast: it's not just for vegans any more.) It's pure umami, that stuff. Air-popped corn is cheaper and less likely to get scorched. Plus the smell is better. The scent of air-popped popcorn is delicious; the scent of microwave popcorn with fake butter, imho, is kind of revolting. You’re certainly not in the minority at my house.

I like walking and driving on asphalt, but I wouldn't want to breathe vaporized asphalt. If it's killing workers, it probably ought to be banned if there isn't a way for workers to breathe clean air. As far as a bag of fumes, treat it like second-hand smoke. A little bit won't kill you, repeated exposure might. Besides, microwave popcorn is lame. Real popcorn comes air-popped and is then covered with (real) butter and salt as desired. (I know I'm in the minority here, but it's an opinion that isn't likely to budge.)
