A sixth person in the United States has died from lung disease related to vaping, Kansas health officials said Tuesday. The death marks the first in the state, but raises even more concern about the safety and regulation of e-cigarettes.
Healthy teen's symptoms baffle doctors 02:17Kansas health officials reported the patient who died was older than 50, had a history of underlying health issues and"was hospitalized with symptoms that progressed rapidly," according to a statement from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.Health officials said it wasn't clear what type of vaping products the patient was using.
Students say Juul employee told them device is 'totally safe' 02:26"Regardless of where products like e-cigarettes fall on the continuum of tobacco product risk, the law is clear that, before marketing tobacco products for reduced risk, companies must demonstrate with scientific evidence that their specific product does in fact pose less risk or is less harmful.
Whom ever thought that inhaling glycerin was a good idea...? Stick to tobacco, it kills you much slower...
But it sure makes pretty smoke
This is why we have the second amendment. Governments that shut down entire industries.
It’s astounding how fast the administration jumped on this issue after six deaths (which likely were the result of off the market devices) while thousands upon thousands of deaths actually caused from AR 15s never get a serious look
At least with real cogs it takes 30-40-50 yrs of smoking to kill someone. How long has the vapes been out? 2-3 yrs?
Bootleg thc vapes. As expected CCN can’t get its facts straight. Conflating the two is purposeful and dishonesty done. Legalize it.
Only 6 and you Fleshies are freaking out? Yet Mass Shootings where ai get more souls gets no reaction
Trump will ban flav vapes. 6 adults have died but not due to vaping. Its due to the THC vape carts with additive oils sold on the black market. So he's quick to ban what 6 ADULTS died from, BC he says he's saving kids. But more kids died by school shootings, NONE from vaping!
I have teenagers and the struggle to educate these kids about harmful effects of vaping are real. I have been reading about the chemicals in these vapes yet most teenagers believe they are safe compared to coverages.
36,000 dead annually from guns.
How about a story on the 480,000 deaths by cigarettes per year in the US? OH WAIT... That's not what you're paid to write ;)
Not until I see a good reason why people smoke or vape. I won't spare a thought if you die.
6 people! Yet no limit on how many people can die from guns. Trump says vaping makes companies rich yet ignores the big money from guns. Won’t even back something as simple as background checks for all gun sales. And don’t give me the I can’t loan my gun to my friend argument.
6 people have died ... meanwhile thousands perish because of shootings every year ...
What are these people vaping... it helped me stop smoking cigarettes.. that was 6 years ago.. don’t get why you would start vaping if you never smoked . The juice ain’t that good
The narrative that flavored juice is marketed to kids is ridiculous... I own a vape store and maybe 5% of customer use tobacco flavor... I card everyone as do most vape stores, flavored vape juice is no different than watermelon vodka or rootbeer beer...
6 people die related to vaping: 'MUST BAN E-CIGARETTES!!!' Hundreds of kids die for school shootings: 'Eh, guns aren't the problem'
I hear kids are vaping through the barrels of AR-15s. What can we do to stop it?
Over 50 and had health problems. So what is the connection to vaping? She already had breathing issues before vaping. So yeah let's blame vaping.
I bet more have died from cigarettes today. 🤔
Darwinism at its best!!!!
Omg six! That’s like 1/2 as many as pools

Maybe unregulated markets are like bad or something.
“We will not stand idly by as these products become an on-ramp to combustible cigarettes or nicotine addiction for a generation of youth,” Sec Azar said. We will stand idly by as people use guns to slaughter 1000's of people of all generations every year. With THAT we are ok.
Maybe we should glue Juuls to assault rifles
6?! WoW, and how many by guns ?
So everyone dying all at once?
So sad News!
IT is the Black Market vapor that is causing these deaths. Not the everyday vape store. The idea that this story is not covering the real problem and now government will consider closing vale stores pretty much over night without the facts is so wrong. But guns are okay.
6 people die: Ban them! 30,000 die, every year: Thoughts and prayers!
How much the tobacco companies payed for CNN? To telling people fake news like this 😠😠
the news really does love scaring people. She was over 50 had a history of health problems, and says she just started vaping, and they don't even know what kind of vaping products they were, or anything...
Trump wants to do something about e-cigarettes because of 6 deaths. While those are tragic, what about the thousands of deaths from guns? Still nothing huh?
Let Darwin do his valuable work.
Vaper make problem to people around him or her. I hate them
Slap a HUGE tax on these things.
More people in the USA have died of shooting/mass shooting incidents than vaping but the president’s wife is concerned about vaping deaths? 😲
GTFOH... 6 Victims who died to E-Cigs compared to the millions, if not, BILLIONS of people who have already died, or currently terminally ill from all forms of cancer by actual cigarettes? I don’t see Philip Morris and those corporate tobacco company’s in this report.
How many people died from gunshot this year alone?
The only way to survive 😂🙌
vaping is not good. nope

tomforemancnn The tobacco companies are so smooth.. Right now their R&D have something in the 'pipe' line to replace vaping. Too much money to be made on the lungs of the stupid.

These morons are buying unregulated products, making their own juice and rigs, etc. Nothing sold in a shop will have this effect on you. Vaping is still as healthy as it gets (i know it’s not) for nicotine users
I would wager upward of 150 died today alone from actual cigarettes.
tomforemancnn Evidence is anecdotal only.
tomforemancnn It’s not the vape juice that’s causing problems,it’s kids putting THC or off brand shit into the juice. I’ve been vaping for a while and I don’t have problems.
tomforemancnn I mean honestly; do you blame them?
