The mysterious vaping related illness that's killing people, What you need to know.

[Shadowprophet]

I'm a huge proponent of vaping, Not the nicotine or the flavors that do nothing, I like the THC vape carts. I mean, If you are a weed smoker, There is simply no alternative to these carts. They taste great, they deliver the exact same effect every time, They are revolutionary to the cannabis smoking community, These things are 91 to 96 percent THC and they have a staggering verity of flavors. And the buzz. It's like the perfect high every Hit.

However, Recently, There has been a development in the Vaping community, In truth a Crisis.

This Crisis Involves over five hundred and fifty people with over twenty deaths and the FDA and CDC "food and drug administration" and Center for disease control" Can't pin down the exact cause.

Since Late August 2018, over five hundred people including Teens and middle-aged vaping enthusiasts have been hospitalized with pneumonia-like symptoms, Over twenty people have died as a result. At first, they thought it was all E-cigarette products, Then later the CDC makes the link that all victims of the vaping related illness smoked THC carts, More about that here: Illicit 'Pot' Oil Culprit in Vaping Disease?

So they assumed that something in the Vape cartridges must be causing the symptoms. Which is similar to lipoid pneumonia "a build-up of fatty oily chemical on the lining of the lungs."

They assumed the Vitamine E used as the vaping agent in THC carts was to blame at first.

But believe it or not, Vitamine e as an inhaled product has very little study as it's not a harmful chemical and most people don't smoke vitamin E products so there just wasn't enough study on the issue to know if Vitamine E was in fact the cause of these chemical burns and lipid buildups. Later still. The Cdc Found, Some of the Vaping materials used by china of all places to cut costs used lead in their materials, Which when heated beyond a certain threshold cause hydrogen cyanide gas to form thusly burning people's lungs.

At the current point, There are millions of people vaping worldwide, It's honestly an epidemic in schools at the workplace, vaping is more popular than ever. But there is another side to this story. Vaping is quickly replacing traditional smoking, And Big tobacco doesn't like that.



Here Trump talks about a Flavored cart vape ban because so many children are using vapes at school.



As a result, Many Vaping manufacturers in the U.S have felt the sting,

fueled by big tobaccos war on vaping? So they stopped selling most of their products in the U.S.

Some things to consider in closing, Yes. it seems some people are getting sick and even dying from Vaping THC carts. Now, I ask you to consider something, About twenty people have died since 2018 and this is connected to something in Vaping THC carts. That's scary, right? How many people do you suppose have died from smoking cigarettes since late 2018? Yeah, People die, It's scary. Bacon clogs your arteries, So, Do we ban pigs? It's a topic to consider. There are possible dangers involved with vaping THC carts right now, That picture up top, That's from my stash. That's my vape and my carts. The Grapeful dead one and the strawberry shortcake one are garbage pail kids' ones, they have the best flavor. Personally, I think Twenty people probably die every day just putting their clothes on, Should we then ban cloths? "Think carefully about that one" I am in favor of keeping cloths. Birtha across the street isn't going to blind me again...Either way, I still vape, It's a pretty good high and I havent gotten sick off it since I started in fact, I have been more active, Lost a lot of weight and am now close to being in the best health I've been on in over twenty-five years. Is this vaping related illness being blown out of proportion? Over twenty people on earth die each day from too much sugar or too much salt. So, How dangerous is Vaping? Only you can decide that I'm just The guy delivering you the facts. Of which there are sadly very few about this subject at the moment. However, You leave this thread more informed than when you came in. And for that, I thank you.

You make a really good point and To be honest I wouldn't doubt that someone is tampering with black market vape carts, or even using cost-cutting measures that could cause fatalities. But, Consider this, Even if Vaping were perfectly safe for most people, there would still be those unlucky few. Some people are deathly allergic to sunlight.

I think there may possibly be no product possible that could be mass-marketed to the entire world that wouldn't somehow harm a select few people. But That's just me, I at the same time for the sake of being professional, Can't deny my bias toward Vaping. But still, If suddenly, There was some massive Fad where people began a "Hand Shake Challange" To see how many hands they could shake in one day, Just the rise in the skin to skin contact would spread pathogens and somehow manage to take out at least twenty people somewhere brother.

I feel, There is a prohibition aspect to all of this, That the tobacco industry for the first time is feeling real and solid competition from an outside competitor. I feel like the media is fear-mongering the public, Trying to satiate big tobaccos influence. Yes in my theory, There is a conspiracy aspect to that. Yet, Conspricacies do occur sometimes my brother.

Who would have ever imagined that smoking all sorts of weirdly flavored chemicals of questionable origin might make you sick? Go figure. Maybe an herbal remedy of equally questionable origin and content will help.
