    Study Notes

    Vaping and Lung Health

    • Vaping has been linked to severe lung illness and injuries in young adults and teenagers, including irreversible damage and even death.
    • A study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported 53 confirmed cases of young e-cigarette users hospitalized with severe lung toxicity and injury.
    • The average age of these patients was 19, highlighting the vulnerability of young people.
    • Oily substances were found inside the white blood cells, lung tissue, and airways of patients with vaping-associated lung toxicity.
    • The exact mechanism by which vaping triggers these severe lung issues is still unclear, but the oily substances may be linked to nicotine and THC mixtures used in e-cigarettes.
    • The rate of high school students using e-cigarettes in the US doubled to 21% between 2017-2018, surpassing tobacco smoking rates among children and adults.
    • Estimates for 2019 suggest that one quarter of North American high school students use e-cigarettes.
    • Vaping devices offer flexibility for mixing and matching different oils and active ingredients, increasing the risk of unknown and potentially harmful substances being inhaled.
    • Marketing of e-cigarettes is aggressive, persuasive, and widespread, targeting children and teenagers whose lung growth and development are not yet complete.
    • The lack of safety testing for e-cigarette products and their aggressive marketing, despite decades of knowledge about lung damage caused by inhaling harmful substances, raises concerns about the oversight of this potentially dangerous product.
