As of September 24, 2019, 46 state health department and one territorial health department had reported 805 patients with cases of lung injury associated with use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products to CDC.
Cases of severe lung injury in previously healthy persons who reported electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, or vaping, have been under investigation in Wisconsin and Illinois.
While this investigation is ongoing, CDC recommends that persons consider refraining from using e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly those containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
