Laboratory data: external icon support previous findings that vitamin E acetate is closely associated with EVALI.
This study analyzed samples from 51 EVALI cases from 16 states and a comparison group of samples from 99 healthy people for vitamin E acetate, plant oils, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, coconut oil, petroleum distillates, and diluent terpenes.
Vitamin E acetate was identified in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples (fluid samples collected from the lungs) from 48 of the 51 EVALI patients, but not in the BAL fluid from the healthy comparison group.



The latest national and state findings suggest THC-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly from informal sources like friends, family, or in-person or online dealers, are linked to most of the cases and play a major role in the outbreak.

This information on CDC's page will drive much more business away from the black markets and towards legitimate markets. No one wants a lung transplant.

Overall, 56% of patients hospitalized with vaping-related illnesses nationwide reported using the Dank Vapes brand. Health officials found the next most commonly reported product brands among patients were TKO (15%), Smart Cart (13%), and Rove (12%).

The CDC is continuing to recommend that everyone avoid using e-cigarette, or vaping, products that contain THC, especially ones they got from informal sources.

This screams "buy vape products from a store you dummy!"
