Vapers Are Safe To Use Regulated Vaping Products, Say Experts

HEALTH officials have hit back over claims vaping is responsible for an outbreak of respiratory disease in the US and have reassured the public that regulated products continue to be safe to use.

Experts stepped in to appease public worry after news outlets reported there have been six deaths and 450 cases of a severe respiratory illness, thought to be linked to vaping, across 33 states of America.

The patients were reported to be mostly young people with symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, fever, fatigue and vomiting.

Of those hospitalized, many admitted to vaping a variety of substances including marijuana-based products and do-it-yourself brews, not regulated products.

US investigators are yet to establish the exact cause, but samples taken from patients with the condition showed high levels of vitamin E acetate, used as a thickening agent on the black market, which is commonly used to vape cannabis products.

In light of the news, the US government’s Food and Drink Administration (FDA) has now advised the public to stop vaping THC specifically, the marijuana compound that produces a “high”.

The FDA, the Centers For Disease And Control and Prevention (CDC) and US department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has also advised the public that cannabis vape products bought off the streets are untested, unregulated and could be contaminated.

Officials have also warned those who own illicit vape cartridges to throw them away immediately.

Health experts in both the US and UK have likewise stepped in to reassure regular vape users not to be concerned about using regulated vaping products – and reiterated the concern is more with illegal substances and practices.

The FDA’s former chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb said earlier this week the US government had put in a lot of work to ensure vape users buying regulated products are safe.

“Moreover, with such vague advice, no one is likely to change their behaviour because they are not being warned about any specific, identifiable risk.”

Public Health England added that e-cigarettes remain a “fraction of the risk of smoking” and advise vapers to take sensible choices when vaping such as buying from a reputable source and ensuring they are properly regulated products.

Non nicotine vapes are available in several vapor stores in Australia.
