As of February 2020, there have been 2,807 hospitalizations reported to the CDC related to e-cigarette and/or vaping products. The CDC found that vitamin E acetate, which is a common additive in THC e-cigarettes or vapes, was strongly linked to these hospitalizations.
The CDC recommends that people do not use any THC e-cigarettes or vapes, especially from informal sources like online shops, family, or friends.
