It's never easy hearing things like this happen. #rip

Recent Lung Illnesses Linked to Vaping

E-cigarettes and vaping are considered a healthier alternative to tobacco – and can be a way to quit smoking cigarettes. However, with the legalization of marijuana, many cannabis products and derivatives are now easily available for vaping. Long term health effects of vaping liquids are not yet known, and public health officials are concerned both about the use of vaping in general and about the skyrocketing use among teens. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and several states issued warnings on recent severe lung illnesses seemingly connected with vaping and the use of cannabis products in e-cigarettes. Specifically, clinicians say a chemical used in cannabis vaping products, vitamin E acetate, was also found in almost all the samples from patients. Vitamin E acetate is grease-like and must be heated extremely hot to vaporize. Once inhaled, it cools down in the lungs and coats the inside surface of the lungs with that “grease.” Lungs are not designed to handle oils or grease. Clinicians in several states report patients with lipoid pneumonia presenting “abnormal immune cells filled with lipids.” Over 450 cases have been reported from 33 states so far. All have a reported history of e-cigarette use, most using cannabis products, and there is no infectious link between patients. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. Some patients have been placed in intensive care and there are six reported fatalities. Doctors are unsure if some patients will ever fully recover, and they do not know why this is happening now when e-cigarettes have been on the market for 10 years. The CDC recommends people consider not using e-cigarettes until a definitive cause is known. First responders should be aware of the symptoms and the possible cause – not only when treating patients, but also in their own health. There are still many unknowns with this illness. Firefighters especially have enough to worry about with the toxins in smoke on the fireground, think carefully before intentionally adding to the chemicals you’re inhaling.
