#2how many people have died from tobacco just in the last hour? I imagine a hell of a lot more people then the 5 total people who have died from vaping.

CDC’s actual recommendation:
“What the public can do
While this investigation is ongoing, people should consider not using e-cigarette products. People who do use e-cigarette products should monitor themselves for symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever) and promptly seek medical attention for any health concerns.”

#5It amazes me people freak out about GMOs and the material Starbucks cups are made out of yet will breathe vaporized chemicals of who knows what sorts directly into their lungs. Mind boggling.

#6They can start by listing what type of or what “brand” of ecigs and cartridges these patients were vaping. I don’t know why they won’t just do that, the public deserves to know that information. Like catching a suspect.
And if it is indeed THC related, there’s gotta have some form of traceability in place so it shouldn’t be that hard to find the source of the issue. Something about it all just has a weird vibe to it.

They say that so far they’ve only seen patients who used THC-based cartridges not nicotine ones. And they suspect it’s caused by some Vitamin E byproduct getting into their lungs.

They are interested often in destroying the industry rather than limiting the harm. The best advice would be followed by all the products which are suspect and advice not to use those products and carefully monitor which products you are using, so that if symptoms appear they know what to try to single out.

Why are you assuming it's the same people?
It's not like a majority of the population vapes... while it seems to be at least somewhat popular, it's still very much the minority I see vaping.
