Health officials stateside are investigating hundreds of confirmed or probable cases of lung illness connected to vaping.

Cannabis extracts in vaping pens have been one of the biggest growth segments in the US states which have legalised the drug.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating hundreds of confirmed or probable cases of lung illness connected to vaping.Patients tend to arrive at hospital coughing and short of breath, with many also having a fever, general fatigue or gastrointestinal problems.The increase in cases has prompted a Congressional hearing to be scheduled on the matter for later this month.

Products branded under the Dank Vapes name were until recently available on Amazon and are still for sale elsewhere on the internet. Recognised makers of nicotine e-cigarettes, such as Juul Labs, British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands have said their products do not contain THC or vitamin E compounds.

“Could” and “news” 🤡

So SkyProjectFear are saying could. USA health department say it dose and have deaths. Sky sounding like Labour now sitting on the fence on this one we can change out minds later

Excuse the pun, but this is a smoke screen. Nothing to do with cannabis but trump trying to ensure people keep spending. Tax revenue high on vap products

caused by the toxic chemicals in the liquid, NO one has EVER died from smoking marijuana oil, EVER. Thats a fact ... Prove me wrong . the whole media is talking bvllshit at the same time MockingbirdMedia

'could' ...be the media assumption, 'NOT' being the scientific fact. The chemical used in the actual liquid, aka flavour is what is being blamed, now that's a FACT the media can't handle, because they promoted vaping and vilified smokers .... prove me wrong
