Vitamin E Suspected in Lung Problems Among People Who Vaped Cannabis

Too Lazy to Roll a Joint? –

September 5, 2019 – When it is “inhaled deep in the lung, [it] can cause problems,” Zucker tells NPR. He says the lab has found very high amounts of vitamin E in 13 of the patient-submitted cartridges they’ve analyzed. “As high as even 50 percent of the liquid that is in the vaping [cartridge].” It was not found in cartridges from patients that contained only nicotine.
