No single product is responsible for the thousands of vaping-related lung illnesses reported across the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
No single product or brand is responsible for the thousands of vaping-related lung illnesses reported across the United States, according to a report released Friday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Nationally, Dank Vapes were the most commonly reported THC-containing product by hospitalized EVALI patients, but a wide variety of products were reported, with regional differences," the CDC said in its report. The agency uses the term EVALI as shorthand for"e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury.
Although investigators have linked vitamin E acetate, a thickener used in some vaping products, to many of the lung injuries, the CDC said in its latest report that"many substances and product sources are being investigated, and there might be more than one cause."The agency on Thursday reported 2,291 confirmed cases of lung injury in the US related to vaping as of December 4 across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
