Los Angeles County reports vaping-related death

(7 Sep 2019) US health authorities announced on Friday that they were investigating Los Angeles County's first known death associated with vaping a marijuana product, while ten other cases of lung injury have been reported that are potentially linked to the use of cannabis vapes. The disclosure came on the same day that US health officials renewed calls for people to avoid vaping until they figure out why some users are coming down with serious breathing illnesses. Officials have identified 450 possible illnesses in 33 states, including at least three deaths. In Los Angeles County, officials did not disclose the name of the deceased patient, who was described as an older adult, at least 55 years old, with chronic health conditions. However, "vaping was a probable, potential cause of death in this person," said Dr. Muntu Davis, the county's health officer. Overall, the county has received 12 reports of hospitalizations for pulmonary injuries related to vaping, all but one of those involving marijuana products. For now, county health investigators have a puzzle. No specific device, brand or ingredient has been implicated in the health problems. The known cases cut across all age groups and people in varying health conditions, and the cases are not concentrated in a specific area.
