Nov. 13, 2019 – More than 2,000 Americans who use e-cigarettes have become sick since March, many of them teenagers and young adults, and at least 40 people have died. The bulk of the cases occurred in August and September but new cases are still being reported, the Associated Press reported; THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, was found in most samples tested by the Food and Drug Administration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday identified vitamin E acetate, a chemical added to vaping fluid, as a “very strong culprit of concern” in the illnesses.
“There is no long-term safety data on e-cigarettes,” said Rose Marie Robertson, the American Heart Association’s deputy chief science and medical officer. “However, there are decades of data for the safety of other nicotine replacement therapies.” Bad cholesterol, or low-density lipoproteins, was higher in sole e-cigarette users compared to nonsmokers. Juul did not respond to a MarketWatch request for comment.
