Every state but Alaska has reported vape lung victims, now numbering 1,479 nationwide
A lung condition
apparently caused by vaping has been reported in every state but Alaska, the CDC has announced.
The total number of suspected and confirmed cases has risen to 1,479, and at least 33 people have died as a result of the affliction.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
updates these numbers regularly and provides news on its progress in characterizing the condition, in which the only reliable shared factor is using vaping devices.
More victims report using THC products than nicotine, but no specific chemical or mechanism has been proposed as the cause.
