Deaths caused by e-cigarettes

An outbreak of vaping-related deaths in the US has been described as a public health crisis. At least 39 people have died and more than 2,000 have suffered lung injuries from vaping-related illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Currently 46 states and one US territory have reported cases of the illness. Two thirds of those with the illness are 18-34-year-olds, while 16 per cent are under 18. Around 69 per cent of the patients are male.

Most patients have reported a history of using products containing THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. But one patient who died in Georgia had reported only “heavy nicotine vaping”.

A man in Texas was also killed after an e-cigarette he used exploded in his face and tore his carotid artery causing a massive stroke.

After a 34-year-old woman had developed lipoid pneumonia, doctors identified the cause as vegetable glycerine found in e-cigarettes, according to a case report in the British Medical Journal.
