The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now aware of 153 possible cases of severe lung disease in 16 states that could be caused by vaping, the agency said in an update to a multi-state investigation

The cases -- reported from June 28 to August 20, 2019 -- have popped up in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin. They have primarily affected adolescents and young adults.This is an increase from Saturday, when CDC announced it was looking into 94 possible cases in 14 states.

"People had the impression that vaping was something safe," Choi said."They don't connect new symptoms with vaping."Choi's state of Ohio, however, is not one of the states where health departments or the CDC are currently reporting potential cases."It's hard to tell what to expect in these cases because it's something new," Choi said.
