Who really cares?

Vaping is very dangerous especially when purchased off the streets

But why is the article thumbnail guy's head just exploding into smoke

Now how many deaths were linked to cigarettes through the decades. And they are still on the shelves.

Real news=

Tainted cartridges or oils that are bought on the street.

My understanding is that “vaping” nicotine and “dabbing” THC are two distinct things. Different liquids and chemicals. This article seems to be combining the two. Is this some of the fake news I hear so much about? Obviously kids got hurt but “linked to vaping”?

Where was that person living? Surrounded with neighbours burning wood? Woodsmoke contains 3000chems many toxic and carcinogenic, the same chems of tobacco, but 12 tot 30 times more harmfull.

Don’t smoke

'At this time, there does not appear to be one product involved in all of the cases, although THC and cannabinoids use has been reported in many cases.' THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive substance in cannabis.'

alexmesa44 watch those lungs boy

JoseMolinaTV If you do it too much, it can have bad consequences. Moderation in use helps. Some THC vapes are also harsher than others. Skywalker almost killed me, but I have others that are very helpful (I don't do it every day), & don't irritate my lungs.

Why would the US, the land of democracy and freedom, have to investigate something like this? If somebody is taking something and it is bad for them, they know it. Can all problems of this country be solved? Just asking.

SweetTiki13 We need government action on vaping. IT IS NOT SAFE.

Very good! Let them die with theirs will.

A death...? By the time they finish their little fake investigation, the tobacco industry may have killed 10,000! What a farse....

Would be better to smoke! 😂😂😂😂

This is very misleading. It's on par with Tucker Carlson talking about seeing people injecting marijuana and marijuana leads to mass shootings.

Darwin predicted this long ago!

i seriously dont know why people care about this. 8 MILLION people die every year from cigarettes, but we want to freak out when 2 people die from e cigs? its CLEARLY safer?

Vapers when they realize you shouldnt put water vapor in your lungs

If people want to do something that's not that healthy...it their choice. Still better than smoking cigarettes. I'm not offended when they vape.

There's no way that that ridiculously thick vape 'smoke' could be bad for you. It's just water vapor, right?

clayphillips27 I just cannot wait until we see honest testing from people smoking weed.

Here is an idea. Reaching a conclusion then trying to make your data match that conclusion is not science and is why they are still saying it 'could be' related to vaping over a month later.

Didn’t Milwaukee just have 16 linked deaths? Not a surprise.

Oregon has its first death linked to Vaping.

The person who died in July used e- cigarette or Vaping with cannabis they bought at an Oregon shop.

Oregon health officials are playing a game of clue with a death from severe respiratory illness that could be linked to vaping, according to an announcement by the Oregon Health Authority

Good ol' corporate finds another way to kill us and get rich. What's not to like?

If these people haven't figured this out yet, they shouldn't call themselves 'health officials.'

These vape scare articles are getting absolutely ridiculous. Stop lying to spook people back to ciggs. S T O P. All of the people who got this mystery “respiratory illness” reported vaping THC oil, often shady stuff off the web, or adding the questionable stuff themselves! 🤬

Are you just now realizing that sucking flavored oil into your lungs is a bad thing? The FDA is about special interest groups making money, NOT ABOUT watching out for Americans.

The point is vaping due to its tech is killing ppl in the short term, whereas smoking cigarettes kills in the long term, i shouldn’t have to explain this to anyone!

Ppl learned nothing from smoking. Only 2 now, but those numbers will go up. Look how long it took for the tobacco industry to admit that their product causes disease. If ppl want 2 do it let them. TheSurvivalOfTheFittest Vaping

What exactly did people think? Inhaling crap into your lungs is never a good thing. We've come a long way getting people to stop smoking cigarettes so why are we going backwards w/vaping, pot smoking, hookahs etc that are gaining popularity among young people.

CamiAlbright

stop using inhale batteries.

MAKE WEED LEGAL!!!!!

My penis hole itches, I think it's from vaping.

heredia_gabo

Vaping, hurricane, vaping, hurricane, vaping, hurricane. Geez, are you that scared CNN millennial tweeter?

You are not a chimney to be bellowing smoke. That shit cannot be safe to your lungs. Addiction is hella of a disease. Those exploding vaping trinkets should be banned

Be sure to read the whole article. The headline is misleading. It was THC vape related like almost all the other cases, NOT regular nicotine vapes which have been used safely for a decade.

That feeling when they ban vapes faster than they do guns after two deaths... I thought vapes dont kill people though, people do, innit NRA realDonaldTrump ?

Your lungs don't like smoke or vape.

DrDzul leeboonchye Please take note of the new finding.

DrJenCaudle DrJenCaudle if this is true this would be the second death linked to vaping.

xelasogal man te tag porque te aprecio. No por molestar 🥰

Looks healthy to me

PANIC

7, 000,000 people DEAD from Tobacco each year... 1 possible death from Vaping... Any questions? Vaping Saves Lives. VapingSavesLives CDCgov

Surprised?

You know what!!! from my point....these shit should be stop to save lives

Was the vaping materials and supplies bought from Walmart?

'Could.' We need proof.

Interesting!

Wake up people

Isn’t vaping supposed to be healthier than smoking? Jeez, I guess they should have stricter laws on tobacco & vaping use.

😝
