Doctors officially name vaping-related lung disease

At the end of last week, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a new name for lung disease associated with vaping: in America more than 1000 people have already got this disease, at least 26 of them have died.

In its weekly report on morbidity and mortality published on October 11, CDC called EVALI lung disease. This means “e-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury”, writes Fox News.

The same report states that as of October 8, 49 states reported a total of 1299 EVALI cases to the federal agency. At least 26 people have died in 21 state.

On Friday, Texas announced the state's first vaping-related death, the same news reported from New York and Utah last week. The Texas Department of State Health Services did not release additional information about the victim in a news release, but The Associated Press reported that the deceased was an elderly woman in North Texas.

Officials from the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are still trying to identify any single product or component responsible for the disease. In more than 80% of cases associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products, officials are increasingly focusing on thickeners and additives used on THC cartridge black markets.

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • Since the beginning of summer 2019 appear almost daily reports of new casualties from smoking electronic cigarettes in the USA. Today, almost every state has sick people.
  • Following the call of the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo to ban all flavored vape products The Council on Public Health and Health Planning unanimously voted in favor of this decision. The ban will be valid for at least 90 days.
  • В San Francisco (California) and Massachusetts have also introduced similar bans on electronic cigarettes as a result of a number of lung diseases that are thought to be related to vaping.
  • Los Angeles County has already banned flavored electronic cigarettes and menthol supplements, which also made the states of Michigan. US Presidential Administration Donald Trump such a solution supports.
  • Since the US government does not have time to control the e-cigarette industry and the thriving black market, the US Department of Health in September announced a total ban for flavored vapes, a nationwide investigation is ongoing.
  • Doctors talk about "vaping epidemic”, Manufacturers of electronic cigarettes claim that their health hazard is still less than the harmful effects of traditional smoking.
