The fight for the lungs: in the United States may ban electronic cigarettes

The American Medical Association (AMA) has called for an end to the use of electronic cigarettes.

The AMA statement said, in part: "The nationwide rise in e-cigarette-related lung illnesses reinforces our belief that e-cigarette use and vaping are an epidemic."

On the subject: In the United States recorded the first death from smoking electronic cigarettes

AMA is one of the most famous and influential medical organizations in the USA. She warned that vapers with breathing problems, chest pains, or a strong cough should seek immediate medical attention.

In turn, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent a warning to JUUL, the largest electronic cigarette manufacturer, to accuse JUUL of breaking the law: making unsafe statements about the safety of its products.

Vaping considered 450 recently identified cases of pulmonary disorders in the United States, resulting in five deaths.

Recall that two officials in san francisco put forward a new bill proposing to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes in the city until the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducts a study to assess their impact on public health.
