Been there. Done that. But it is not that bad a process. I covered the walls & floor with plastic drop cloths and moistened areas as I scraped. I used a 6″ joint knife with good results. The wet material falls in strips to the floor without particles getting airbourne, if you are concerned about hazards

Sounds Like you have your hands full and alot of work a head. Try wet sanding it (to keep the dust down) then re tape and then paint. Be minded textured/popcorned walls are use to cover shotty workmen ship/in-perfections in the original hanging of the wallboard,a common fare now days.

Once you get by the scraping and cleaning part, the rest is easy. What a mess you will have on the ground to clean up. One suggestion if you haven’t started the scraping yet. There is a inexpensive tool at most stores like Lowes and Homedepot in the paint section. It is a scraper with a long handle that has a plastic bag attached to catch the scrapings(several bags are included). It is well worth the few bucks. Saves a bunch in clean up. It is really great in the main part of a home. No covering or moving most furniture. After that part is done , like I said, it is easy. Just replace any tape seams that are not tight, check any nail or screw holes in the sheetrock , remud and sand smooth those sections. Now you are ready to paint or texture depending upon your choice. Good luck!

For you or the popcorn ceiling is most probably asbestos it is not good for you or the popcorn.
For you or the environment stop.
