Investigators have not linked the illnesses to any particular product or compound, but say vaping oils containing THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, pose a greater risk.
Last month, the CDC advised people to stop using vaping products, or e-cigarettes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine or marijuana. Some US states, most recently Massachusetts, have moved to ban vaping altogether until its health effects are better understood.Media playback is unsupported on your deviceThe Trump administration plans to pull fruit flavoured e-cigarettes from the US market, unless approved by the Food and Drug Administration , in an attempt to make them less attractive to young consumers.
The CDC said deaths linked to vaping products occurred in the states of Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon and Virginia.
Thousands shot and killed in the US, they won't worry about a few dying from vaping.
All cases in the US? With millions vaping around the world?
no more “vaping disease “ than mass poisoning is “EATING disease “ !! black market THC carts are behind every case Oil/lipids in the lungs cause lipoid pneumonia Oil is NOT compatible with nicotine eliquid WARN black market THC !!! BBC_Complaints vape
People going out of their way to inhail smoke and other substances. People complain about polluted air in cities - human irony at its finest
Versus 10,000 a day from smoking related illnesses. keepitreal
Of course people are going to die by putting crap into their lung. U would be far better drinking bleech
And cigarettes kill way more everyday. Who cares?
bbc Irresponsible headline All deaths linked to black market thc contains vitamin e acetate
Yet all this fear will lead to less people quitting and remain smoking which kills 1315 people a day.
I have been vapeing since 2015 and have never had any problems with it the if you buy the cheap mod and fluids you are bound to have problems there not regulated and are sourced from the cheapest possible sources
There’s nothing new about vaping cannabis in the USA, whether as a liquid or in its dry form.
I have to laugh at these idiots walking about sucking on what looks like an oversized biro, puffing out clouds of watermelon flavoured gas. Get a life you sad individuals. Just don’t smoke full stop!It serves no purpose whatsoever. Amazing what folk would rather have than money.
What organisation encouraged the masses to vape ..should now hang their heads in shame!
It’s some evil stuff when I was in the hospital they told me exactly what it does to your—Lungs hella scary
So there are roughly 10.8 million vapers in the United States according to an article published by Reuters on Aug, 27th 2018. 18 people have died. Thats 0.00016666666% of vapers dead. You have a greater chance of dieing from commuting to work. ✌️
They’ll ban them...but do diddly squat about their biggest problem with regards to unnecessary deaths.... 🔫🔫🔫
How can these people be so dumb ? What are they doing - trying to give up smoking ? Duh?
Headline playing with people's lives ,disgusting. We know about US state direct taxation of tobacco. This tenuous THC link to recover tobacco tax that's probably already been spent by state budgets will kill people. Fact- vaping is 95% less harmful than ciggerettes.
Black market THC oil. That’s all. That’s the tweet.
Follow the $$$ cigarette sales flagging! How many people have been shot today in the States? 330 million people and a total of 18 deaths smoking cannabis oil! FFS
And this is why people should not purchase E-Liquid cheaply...Buy from a reputable supplier, nothing like this happening over here in the UK.
Asking a serious question, how prevalent is vaping in the UK or Europe? It's been popular in the US for about 10 years. The last few months we have seen this epidemic. Seems like it's due to black market adulterated THC cartridges. Any problems across the pond?
What about cigarettes deaths?
Omg...18. Seems like vaping is saving lives. 18 480,00. perspective
Meh.
Or do they? Can the BBC ever use a headline that reflects the truth?
