That is up from 380 cases reported a week ago as health officials link more illnesses and deaths to vaping. Three-fourths of the cases are male, and two-thirds are between the ages of 18 and 34. Zeller said no single substance or compound, including tetrahydrocannabinol , the high-inducing component of marijuana, or Vitamin E acetate, has been linked to all of the cases so far.
“We do expect others,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC, told reporters, referring to the number of deaths.
10 years these things have been on the market, nothing. But now suddenly people are getting sick. I bet it's caused by counterfeit products made by people who don't know or care what they put in them.
An outbreak: in other words, virtually no calling related problems for over a decade, and suddenly *WHAM* -a while slew of em. That's not a problem with vapes themselves, but with the liquid being vaporized & inhaled. I'm being BigTobacco & Pharma are behind the scare.
Why are we heading down a highway already travelled? Just ban the damned devices! World-wide! The smaller the particles, the deeper into the lungs contaminants go, the more damaging it is! Why are asian countries ready ahead of the west in outright banning it?
530 out of an estimated 41,000,000 people who vape? Come on.
Terrible we have to stop it
禁了吧,这是威权国家的垃圾产物
Gosh, almost as high as the number of aborted/murdered babies today.
Now do guns
Outbreak? Lol.
