Given all of the recent reports regarding lung-related illnesses surrounding “Vaping” we want to make a few things very clear. First, the word “Vaping” and “E-cigarette” are being used by public health officials and the media when referring to both nicotine and marijuana/THC products and it is very confusing for consumers to decipher between the two. Second, reports from health departments in CA, NM, NY, PA, UT, and WI have all linked the related illnesses to unlicensed black-market THC oil. The one outlier was in Oregon where the tragic death was associated with a THC cartridge from a licensed retailer. Third, none of our liquids contain Vitamin E acetate or any vitamins for that matter. Fourth, e-cigarettes and vaping nicotine-based e-liquids have been around a very long time and the industry has never seen anything even remotely close to what is happening currently. As noted in a New York Times article, “Public health officials have underscored one fundamental point: that the surge in illnesses is a new phenomenon and not merely a recognition of a syndrome that may have been developing for years.” We would encourage you to buy your nicotine and non-nicotine products from respectable companies and retailers and never ever buy anything off of the street.

Recently, Vapor Technology Association posted this blog about how this issue is being misrepresented in the media and their call to action for better dissemination of the facts.
Lastly, this blog is from a well-respected scientist, Dr. Farsalinos, about how the announcements and statements of some authorities, regulators, and scientists are without any scientific and epidemiological basis.
