This reminds a case in Spain, workers making airbrushing for the company 'Ardystil', developed dyspnea, and several died, in what finally was diagnosed as Lung Fybrosis.
Besides this possibility, it's absolutely unacceptable that no tests were done before accepting 'Electronic cigarettes' accesing the market, being offered for sale, also, if products vaped are illegal drugs, contamination with chemical and biological elements is very easy, and can induce severe pulmonary disease. Salut +

How many of the reported lung and respiratory illnesses due to use of tobacco products has been investigated so far? So its better to back to cigarettes then? Bet the tobacco companies are smiling. I think its all about quantity you vape and the products you use in the vape. Even water is bad if you take too much.

In this single story we see the negative of the US political system. The tobacco industry develops a new drug delivery system, foists it into the market as a means to QUIT smoking, the hooks another generation of smokers.....all while giving lobbying money to politicians. Is there no one in Washington who can stop this madness?

I ain't no scientist but an "out-break" suggests possible product contamination rather than chronic long-term usage. Maybe somebody contaminated a batch in order to make changes to the product use. Just a thought.

E-cigarettes have been around for 15 years with 10.8 million Americans using them and only 200 people have gotten sick from it?! That’s freaking amazing!

I’m kind of curious as to why the CDC is not interested in what exactly poisoned this person?

OK, it's not like anybody can say that they weren't adequately warned about the dangers inherent in putting toxins directly into their body, right?? How can ANYTHING that comes from a burning weed or an E-cig, be good for your body?? If the chemical high is so wonderful that it can't be refused, then suffer the consequences of your actions ALONE!! Don't be tying up hospital beds and using up other valuable resources due to your own inability to know right from wrong and keeping your emotional needs in check!! There are many others who may need to avail themselves of those resources, and if you are too selfish to keep from using them up, I have ZERO pity for you for the condition you put yourself in by your own willful actions. NOBODY ever put a gun to your head and made you smoke, drink alcohol or vape some toxins. Abuse your body at YOUR expense, not mine!!

It's like saying that people die from heroin overdoses because they use syringes, so lets outlaw syringes. Syringes are a perfectly fine delivery system, it's what's in the syringe that's the problem.

Medical science at its worst (if the report's accurate). No common inhalant but all the people included used e-cigarettes. How many age-matched people hospitalised with unexplained lung disease had not? How many e-cigarette users hospitalised had drunk milk? Repeat after me CDC: association is not causation.

Smoking causes 1,300 deaths every day.
