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. One not interested in vaping can also use CB2 supplement for anxiety and sleep.

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”.

While some US states, which have legalized recreational marijuana for adult-only and medicinal use, oversee the products, the central government’s FDA doesn’t regulate it, meaning the black market has become flooded.

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.
