Analysis of lung diseases related to electronic cigarettes revealed that many patients who complained of symptoms were using liquids containing the active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis (marijuana). Therefore, it is said that liquid containing THC is related to lung disease.

In addition, New York State health authorities announced on September 5, 2019 that a chemical called “ Vitamin E Acetate (Tocopherol Acetate) ” has become the “major focus” for investigating the cause. Vitamin E acetate is a by-product of the vitamin complex produced during the process of heating the liquid to aerosol.

On the other hand, vitamin E acetate is not the only cause at the time of writing. “The FDA is analyzing a wide range of chemicals, including vitamin E acetate, but we haven't identified a single causative agent,” Sharpless said, possibly involving multiple chemicals. As such, further work is expected to identify the causal relationship between lung disease and chemicals.
