Since late June, there have been at least 94 cases reported across several states involving people with 'severe pulmonary disease' possibly tied to vaping, with the majority of those affected being teenagers and young adults, according to the CDC.

Federal health officials are investigating potential links between lung illnesses and e-cigarettes amid the soaring popularity of so-called vaping among young people.

"Additional states have alerted CDC to possible cases and investigations into these cases are ongoing," the statement said."There is no conclusive evidence that an infectious disease is causing the illnesses."

From smoking on chemicals that shouldn’t be smoked on.

Why did the FDA ever approve the use of these dangerous items?

Did you ever stop to think for one minute, by not telling the truth about the ILLEGAL THC & black market products causing these illnesses, that you may very well be complicit in the death that will surely happen at some point?

Strange... All young people. All a new phenomenon. Because it's not a nicotine Vape product! Be responsible and report the truth. Synthetic THC / spice is gonna kill someone and you're ignoring the real problem.

I sense a massive lawsuit coming...

Actually you are 100% wrong. This isn't vaping, these are Counterfeit thc products that are the cause. vape saferalternative savelives royalcollegeofphysicians nonsmoker

Look. There's money to be made getting these kids hooked on this shit. It ain't crack or fentanyl. Mind your business. We weakened the agencies that can control us. Don't make us come for your ass. I woke up in a cold sweat and lit a Camel to take the edge off.

Possibly? The 'news' is not news anymore. If you inhale anything in to your lungs it is not good. This is how stupid the mainstream thinks the American public is.

so they live no where near pollution nor smoked weed or reg cig?

'Possibly'. You're paid the big bucks to come up with 'possibly'...?

Chinese nuclear bombs in a little puff - WAKE UP ruSsian & chinese terrorists are taking over America - be smart FIGHT. They have stolen Bass Pro & Walmart bc gun control & they can poison food & personal items. FBIWFO INDOPACOM MaddowBlog CIA AP US7thFleet NewYorkFBI 🆘😶

Of course Marijuana users don't develop pulmonary disease in Dem liberal la la land.

Get ready... Wait for it... 'It's a big plot by the tobacco companies to make kids stop vaping and go back to TOTALLY SAFE non-tobacco products! Yours truly, The Conspiracy Wacko People'

I was able to quit smoking using the vape. Now no cigs no vape

Tobacco industry up to it's old tricks

Lipid induced pneumonia is a thing and cannabis, for example, is “oil based”... vape’n raw flowers, safe. vape untested, unregulated concentrates, not safe.

What is not telling you. Health officials have said patients have described vaping a variety of substances, including nicotine, marijuana-based products and do-it-yourself 'home brews'.

1/3 cases in one state smells like a bad batch, or either a broad under-diagnosing or a concentrated over-diagnosing

No one will be shocked Vaping is foolish

Turns out, inhaling the combusted vapors of under-researched chemical cocktails is unhealthy. Who knew?

I feel for the family's losses here but , they allowed this to happen, willingly or not ,kids have always found ways to not tell their parents about what they are doing ,BUT they have the info it's not like it's NOT out there.. so all i can say is this: STUPID CURES ITSELF.

Foregone conclusion!

So, smoking is safer than, got it.

Somehow marijuana is still illegal.

Stupid kids.
