VTA addressed the Hysteria being caused by a careless media and officials.
"VTA has previously said public health departments should fully investigate and release all information about these cases. Either there’s a legitimate basis to tell people to stop using e-cigarettes or they are feeding the hysteria around a different product to conflate the issues by failing to distinguish e-cigarettes. The Vapor Technology Association applauds FDA's statement clearly advising consumers to avoid THC-containing vapor products. Even former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, no friend to the vapor industry, has assigned blame to illegal vapor products containing THC and cannabis. By contrast, CDC's fear mongering statement is misguided and will only cause further harm to overall public health." - Tony Abboud, Executive Director of the Vapor Technology Association.

Inflammatory rhetoric out of Washington, D.C., describing a youth vaping “epidemic,” has escalated fears in communities across the country and put pressure on many municipalities to move quickly to impose excise taxes, flavor restrictions, and outright bans. But this impulse to act swiftly will lead to more harm than good. “
Another California City Proposes E-Cigarette Ban: Patience Is A Virtue When It Comes To Vaping
The following article outlines the results of a study completed to see the results of vaping on the body, over almost a 4-year period. The findings were in favor of the cause that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking.
“This small study, the first of its kind to date, found no detectable changes in lung health in never smokers who have been regularly vaping for at least 4 years. Daily exposure to ECs aerosol emissions caused no significant changes in any of the health outcomes investigated, including measures of lung function and lung inflammation. Moreover, no significant structural abnormalities could be identified on HRCT of the lungs and no respiratory symptoms were consistently reported. In spite of the small sample size and lack of comparison to smokers, careful examination of long-term health effects of EC use in a rare cohort of regular daily users who have never smoked in their life may contribute to the current understanding of the potential health risks associated with EC use.”
CASAA released this statement in response to the influx of scared vapers and potential vapers. While it is hoped that a fair, honest, and transparent report will be released in regards to the recent illnesses, the goal and hope is to keep people form turning back to Combustible cigarettes.
“CASAA acknowledges that many people who vape nicotine or who are considering switching from combustible tobacco to a vapor product are frightened by the seemingly endless headlines conflating the risks of illicit oil-based cannabis products with nicotine vaping. In the absence of clear advisories from health officials, many people who vape and people who are considering switching to vapor products–away from smoking–might be losing trust in the nicotine vapor market and the products being sold.
Consistent with our mission, we are advising anyone who has concerns about the safety of nicotine vaping products to consider other smoke-free options before returning to combustible tobacco use. Smokeless nicotine products such as snus, moist snuff (dip), nicotine pouches, and nicotine toothpicks are vastly safer alternatives to smoking and are readily available online and at most retailers where tobacco products are sold.”
The following article is very interesting. It talks about websites and companies that are believed to Provide a cutting agent as an alternative to PG and VG boasting it to be the healthiest and cheapest out there. all before these illnesses started popping up. And it does contain vitamin E. the companies now have gone dark or pulled their products. But its believed to be present in a large portion of all of these Contaminated THC carts.
State and federal investigators have discovered that many of the illegal THC oil cartridges provided for testing by the victims of a mysterious lung condition contain a thick cutting agent called tocopherol acetate, or more commonly vitamin E acetate. New York State authorities are calling the substance a “key focus” of their investigation.
The following Video is from Australian news… its incredible to me that they can spend less than one minute talking about it, and share more valuable and honest information than any of the American broadcasts have been able to in the past weeks…
YONKERS, NEW YORK: Bill banning flavored vapor products is being fast-tracked and a committee hearing could happen as early as TOMORROW, September 10, 2019 at 5:00 PM.
I hope you all have great day.
