Given up smoking tobacco the traditional way and switched to Vaping, believing that your health will benefit?
Well, think again - as predicted by just about anyone with an ounce of common sense - Vaping, as it turns out isn't quite as safe as we were told.
CNN reports:
A sixth person in the United States has died from lung disease related to vaping, Kansas health officials said Tuesday. The woman was older than 50 and had a history of health problems. She became seriously ill shortly after she started using e-cigarettes and her symptoms progressed rapidly. It's not clear what type of vaping products she used, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said.The death marks the first in the state, but raises even more concern about the safety and regulation of e-cigarettes.
There have been more than 450 possible cases of lung illness associated with using e-cigarettes reported to the CDC across 33 states and the US Virgin Islands. There have also been deaths reported in California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Oregon.
The Microscopic Particles Produced by e-cigarettes Linked to Heart Attacks, High Blood Pressure, and Coronary Artery Disease
Even when the vapor produced is free from nicotine, it may still carry other significant heart health risks. The heating element in e-cigarettes emits tiny particles, sometimes including metals such as lead and chromium, which can embed themselves deep into the lungs and get absorbed into the body’s circulatory system.
Recent studies have shown that puffing on e-cigarettes increases concentration of these microscopic pollutants — in particular, PM2.5 and ultrafine particles — in indoor environments.

This is a very irresponsible story as there is no definitive evidence that any of the deaths can be solely attributed to Vaping (what products is the culprit? What ingredient? and more). I have personally read the latest medical articles in Journal of Medicine and other medical and heathcare related articles from reputable sources; your article is nothing more than spewing the same junk from CNN (a great source of truth...I digress).
We all want to know the truth, not the sensational hyperbole of today's so-called journalism, we want to know what is actually the culprit as millions of adults are capable of knowing what they are doing and can make their own decisions without the Nanny State coming along and telling us what we need to do.
Quick question; If there was a better alternative to quitting tobacco smoking, and if the majority of studies in the EU have shown that Vaping reduces carcingistic intake by up to 90% or greater, and you have 6 deaths compared to 500,000 killed by tabacco products. Here is another observation, why is it that only FDA approved sessation products are all big pharma based?
Please be more responsible in your reporting, as all cases relating to the alleged Vaping scare are not even confirmed by science or research, and even the medical community is being very careful on making sure that there is not smoking gun here to point to; in other words, it is all speculation so let's write is as such.
