CDC Find Possable Cause For Vaping Deaths Lung Injury

2 Replies

Recent CDC laboratory testing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples (or samples of fluid collected from the lungs) from 29 patients with EVALI submitted to CDC from 10 states found vitamin E acetate in all of the BAL fluid samples. Vitamin E acetate is used as an additive in the production of e-cigarette, or vaping, products. This is the first time that we have detected a potential chemical of concern in biologic samples from patients with these lung injuries.

CDC continues to recommend that people should not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products that contain THC, particularly from informal sources like friends, or family, or in-person or online dealers. We will continue to provide updates as more data become available.

The Vitamin E question relates to the form the Vit E is being supplied in. Vit E acetate is not biologically useful to the body: only Vit E alpha tocopherol meets human requirements. The acetate part is like adding a brick to the end of the chemical: the body can't process it, and from the information above it sounds as if it is starting to cause problems.
