Fourteen teens and young adults have been hospitalized in Wisconsin and Illinois for breathing problems potentially linked to vaping, health officials in both states announced Friday.
The lung disease looked like it was caused by an infection,"but every test has come back completely negative," Haupt told CNN. Regarding any links between the cases,"the only thing at this point is vaping, but we don't know what they vaped, where they got their vaping liquids, all this needs to be determined at this point."
Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, told CNN that her team has"talked to people from Wisconsin" and is gathering data and running tests."We have a lot of unanswered questions at this time," she said. An expert committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine reported last year that there is"conclusive evidence that in addition to nicotine, most e-cigarette products contain and emit numerous potentially toxic substances."
He pointed to local news reports that described one hospitalized Wisconsin patient as having purchased THC oil on the street before his breathing issues began, according to his brother.
