Lung diseases that are suspected to be related to electronic cigarettes are rapidly increasing.
by
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the number of cases of severe pulmonary disease is increasing rapidly in the United States. Although the direct cause of the rapid increase in lung disease is unknown, the use of electronic cigarettes was common to all patients, suggesting that CDC may be a health hazard from electronic cigarettes.

The pulmonary disease in question is complaining of symptoms including dyspnea, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Cases have been reported mainly among young people. In some cases, gastrointestinal diseases such as vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue have been reported. There have been no confirmed deaths in this case.
According to the CDC, from June 28, 2019 to August 20, 2019, more than 149 people in 16 states in the United States were diagnosed with 'possibility of severe lung disease'. Although the number of patients reported from June 28 to August 15 was 94, it seems that it has increased more than 50 at a stretch over the next five days.
According to the CDC, all reported cases were approved for the use of electronic cigarettes. The electronic cigarette pointed out in the report is a so-called “Vaping” type, which heats the prepared liquid (liquid) and absorbs the water vapor. Vaping-type electronic cigarettes are becoming more and more popular in recent years because there are fewer harmful components and sidestream smoke than conventional cigarettes, and there are claims that they are also effective in reducing or quitting smoking.

We testify to health care professionals that many patients who used such electronic cigarettes used tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a liquid containing the active ingredient of cannabis (marijuana). THC itself is of course a legally regulated component.
A 26-year-old man living in Wisconsin, who had lung disease in July 2019, told National Public Radio , `` I fell into breathing difficulty after sucking THC-containing liquid purchased on the street with electronic cigarettes. ' The man's blood oxygen level dropped to only 10%, and he was temporarily unconscious. The man warned, “You should buy electronic cigarette liquids at pharmacies. Do n’t buy anything on the street that you do n’t know where you came from.”

However, specific e-cigarette products are not commonly used among patients, and no evidence has been found that e-cigarettes have caused lung disease. The CDC stated that “the cause has not been identified,” and that it is working with the national health and welfare ministry to investigate the cause.
