In California, there have been two deaths and 90 people hospitalized due to vaping, officials say.
In recent months, hundreds of people have been hospitalized across the nation with serious lung conditions that are suspected to be linked to vaping, both of nicotine and THC. In California, there have been two deaths due to the illnesses as well as 90 people who have been hospitalized, officials say.
E-cigarettes are loaded with a liquid cartridge — typically containing THC or nicotine — that when heated turns into a vapor that the user then inhales. The recent outbreak, however, suggests that something in the liquid, such as oil or another substance mixed in, has been also entering people’s lungs and causing damage, experts say.“People are getting sick and some are dying as a result of vaping,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement Tuesday.
As of Friday, there have been 530 cases of lung injury nationwide as well as seven deaths, one of which was in Los Angeles County. Two-thirds of the cases were in people between the ages of 18 and 35. Now doctors who notice these symptoms will know to ask about a child’s history with e-cigarettes, he said. But Sargent expressed concern about how little vaping products are regulated.
