CHICAGO — Illinois health officials said Friday that a patient who contracted a serious lung disease after vaping has died, which could make it the first death in the United States linked to the smoking alternative that has become popular with teens and young adults.
On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a news release in which it said 149 people nationwide had contracted a severe respiratory illness after vaping, but that there hadn't been any deaths reported as of then. CDC officials didn't immediately reply to a Friday phone message seeking comment.
"The severity of illness people are experiencing is alarming and we must get the word out that using e-cigarettes and vaping can be dangerous," IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said in the release."We requested a team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help us investigate these cases and they arrived in Illinois on Tuesday."
What they dont understand is that yes there is alot of dangerous CBD oil on the market but, the main danger is the Vape itself. 99.9 of the vape cartridges or brand is made in china. And china don't care about anything but china. Those materials are deadly!!!
