Health officials now blame vitamin E acetate for the “vast majority” of cases in the U.S. outbreak of vaping illnesses.
The number of 12th-graders who say they vape because they are “hooked” more than doubled since last year, according to the latest Monitoring the Future report.
The CDC also released new information that continues to point to a culprit: vitamin E acetate, a thickening agent that’s been added to illicit THC vaping liquids. THC is the chemical in marijuana that makes users feel high.published in the New England Journal of Medicine identified the substance in the lung fluid of 48 out of 51 vaping illness patients and did not find it in the lung fluid of healthy people. Vitamin E acetate also has been found in vaping product samples.
The nation’s outbreak of vaping-related lung injuries continues, but new cases are on the decline. More than 2,500 cases of vaping illness have been reported by all 50 states. There have been 54 deaths, and more are under investigation.
