As of 10/15, a total of 1,479 cases of lung injury associated with use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products were reported from 49 states (all but Alaska), DC, & 1 U.S. territory. 33 deaths were confirmed in 24 states. Get the latest info at cdc.gov/lunginjury Image
CDC recommends that people do not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products that contain THC. Data suggests products containing THC, particularly those obtained off the street or from informal sources (like friends, family, or dealers), play a major role in the lung injury outbreak.
Since the specific cause or causes of lung injury are not yet known, the best way to stay healthy & safe while we learn more is to consider refraining from use of all e-cigarette, or vaping, products. All tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, carry a risk.
If you are using e-cigarette, or vaping, products to quit smoking, do not return to smoking cigarettes. Adults addicted to nicotine using e-cigarettes should weigh all risks and benefits, and consider using FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapies. cdc.gov/lunginjury
If you use e-cigarette, or vaping, products, get medical care right away if you have symptoms like those reported in this outbreak, such as cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, or weight loss. cdc.gov/lunginjury
