America's Most Respected Health Organizations Report The Dangers of Vaping

Health heavyweights call vaping a public health crisis that has gripped the nation

Monday, October 7, 2019 - The American Lung Association is warning that vaping products such as e-cigarettes can cause permanent, irreversible lung damage and disease. The Mayo Clinic, one of America's most prestigious health organizations, has conducted a study that reveals that toxic chemical fumes produced by vaping, not oils, are to blame for vaping-related sicknesses and deaths. USA Today.com reports that over 1000 vape-related lung sicknesses have been reported to the CDC and the national death toll is approaching 20 young adults. Since so few hospitals have reported the vape sickness cases, those number could be many times higher. The New England Journal of Medicine published the Mayo Clinic's vaping study which found "that lung injury from vaping most likely are caused by direct toxicity or tissue damage from noxious chemical fumes."

Research on vaping is in its earliest stages. The Mayo Clinic study found that biopsies that were performed on vape sickness patients ruled out inhaling oil vapors since the tissues did not contain fatty lipids as would have been expected, according to The Mayo Clinic News. The findings ruled out inhaling oil vapors as the tissues did not contain fatty lipids as would have been expected according to The Mayo Clinic News. Officials fear that the vape victims "suffered from a direct chemical injury, similar to what one might see with exposures to toxic chemical fumes, poisonous gases, and toxic agents." Brandon Larsen, M.D., Ph.D., a surgical pathologist at Mayo Clinic Arizona, and a national expert in lung pathology said in the Mayo Clinic report. Experts suspect that the toxicity related to vaping THC, the principal psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, could be the cause of the outbreak of sicknesses and deaths. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of the health consequences of e-cigarettes, including a criminal investigation by the Food and Drug Administration into a recent spike of vaping-related illnesses. JUUL vape pen lawsuit atorneys represent people and families harmed by the negligence and corporate greed and give the best JUUL vape pen attorney representation available nationwide.

The Mayo Clinic study confirms the worst fears of health officials that vaping may have enticed a whole new generation of youngsters to becoming nicotine-addicted and that most of them are or will be taking up cigarette smoking in the future. Instead of reducing the number of cigarette smokers, vaping may have increased the number of individuals that are addicted to nicotine. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) just ordered Juul and other vape manufacturers, to hand over information regarding their marketing efforts that created the explosive growth in sales. USA Today.com reports that the FTC "ordered companies to turn over documents detailing their business practices, marketing materials, and financial performance." Critics suggest that Juul deliberately targeted underage teenagers with their social media hashtag marketing on Facebook and Instagram. Juul also signed up popular social media influencers to the company's affiliate commission program to compensate them for promoting Juul vape pens and products provided that the affiliate kept the relationship secret. Several states in the US have suspended the sale of vape flavor cartridges pending review.
