After 3 deaths, CDC says to stop using e-cigarettes
Health Sep 6, 2019 1:33 PM EDT
Americans should not smoke e-cigarettes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Friday, as they investigate how hundreds of people became sick, and at least three people died after using them.

“While this investigation is ongoing, people should not use e-cigarette products,” Dana Meaney-Delman of the CDC said in a call Friday. That broad recommendation is because “there is a diversity of products” related to e-cigarettes, some containing THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, marijuana’s primary psychoactive component, and some containing nicotine, she said.

As many as 450 people, including 215 cases formally reported to the CDC, in 33 states have reported possible pulmonary disease after using e-cigarette devices, liquids, refill pods and cartridges. Symptoms of this pulmonary disease include shortness of breath, fatigue, fever and nausea or vomiting. Investigators must eliminate other causes of illness, aside from e-cigarette use, Meaney-Delman said. She is the incident manager who is overseeing efforts to track, understand and respond this pulmonary disease for the CDC.

Annals of Internal Medicine. Of those, 15 percent said they had never smoked cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are the most common way U.S. teens use tobacco, according to a 2018 study by the Department of Health and Human Services.

In recent years, teen use has climbed dramatically, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reported in its Monitoring the Future survey, released in 2018. Among 12th graders, 37 percent of respondents said they had vaped in the last year–up from nearly 28 percent who said they had a year earlier.

The FDA encourages people to submit reports of illnesses that may be related to this disease to FDA Safety Reporting Portal at www.safetyreporting.hhs.gov.

I was a lil younger when I did this shyt but all it took was someone to be like "it's not about how you feel 2 or even 4 years from now....its how that shyt has an overall effect on you 10+ years later"

Threw my shyt away as soon as I read that and go figure: no more popcorn lungs and I smoke hella weed out frontos daily.

"Just as dangerous"?

Looks like they're more dangerous..

 

[FunkDoc1112]

I don't know why people were even convinced that shyt was safer to begin with just because people who had an interest in promoting them said so.

For years tobacco companies tried to hit people with the okie doke too until people started dropping dead from cancer.

Point being, don't trust people trying to sell you posion

Somebody here said it a few days ago but you don't need a doctor to tell you that the human body probably shouldn't be ingesting no shyt that gotta be charged with a USB port

 

[Take It In Blood]

3 deaths are bad but

millions die from tobacco every year

Such a simple observation yet so true

I think it has more to do with the thc oils then vaping itself. Moving like crack in the 80’s...

Nope.

Otherwise people just vaping oil NOT in those cartridges would be getting sick as well and people have been using them far longer than this e-cig shyt.

The problem is FAKE CARTRIDGES...and the fakes, like the fentanyl and the K2....comes from China

This is an easily solvable situation: decriminalize this shyt like Cali, CO, and every other state that has been sensible about this shyt

I walked into two dispensaries in Massachusetts on Tuesday and bought myself legal, clean, organic bud and oil.

The carts these people are getting sick from are Black Market carts and no one can tell you where they are getting their shyt from.

Know why? Cause they're copping it off some asian dude on eBay, that's why.

That’s exactly my point. I’m not saying it’s the oil but fake carts.

Most people still don’t have legal access to carts so they get them off the street. I live in FL where carts are a felony, 95% probably fake but still doesn’t stop people from copping.

They’re going to have to legalize for health concerns or there’s going to be a lot more deaths.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Yeah, me and my brother were talking about this shyt. Both of us be smoking them weed carts like there’s no tomorrow, he cutting & I’m going back to regular tree.
