US doctors urge public to quit vaping as deaths, illnesses rise

Al Jazeera  

The American Medical Association has discouraged e-cigarette use until scientists better understand their effects. The American Medical Association has urged Americans to stop using electronic cigarettes of any sort until scientists have a better handle on the cause of 450 lung illnesses and at least five deaths related to the use of the products. Like many users of vaping pens, Constantino picked up the device after quitting cigarette smoking three years ago, and said, “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” She added, “I threw the last cartridge away. I took a picture of it and I literally cried.” Constantino said many people who vape have been “on pins and needles” for the investigation results, and she is concerned that the reports of a link to vaping THC may give people an excuse to ignore the warnings. Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Association, which advocates for cigarette smokers to switch to nicotine-based vaping devices, said the AMA should be “ashamed of themselves for playing politics with people’s health and protecting the profits of drug dealers.” He criticised the AMA for “fearmongering about nicotine-vaping products” while not mentioning “the very real risks of vaping illicit THC products.” Juul Labs declined to comment.
