Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Reported vaping-related deaths and injuries appear to be tapering off in the United States, but a case with a different type of
lung symptom was reported this week in a Canadian teenager.

U.S. vaping related deaths rose by two, bringing the total to 49. The
number of lung injury cases rose slightly to 2,290 from 2,172 last week,
and were confirmed in 49 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said
Thursday.

Meanwhile, a Canadian teenager treated for vaping-related lung problems
showed a different type of symptoms, Ontario medical experts said.

"Popcorn lung" symptoms were found this spring in a 17-year old boy
admitted into the ICU with a history of vaping both THC and nicotine e- cigarettes, doctors reported Thursday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The lung injury first was noted 20 years ago in workers at a microwave
popcorn factory and was traced back to inhaling diacetyl, a buttery
flavoring.

More than one substance?

Medical officers at the CDC have said during the months-long investigation
into vaping product use associated lung injury, or EVALI, that more than
one substance could be responsible for the illnesses being reported.

The CDC and Food and Drug Administration have advised people to refrain
from vaping THC products obtained through illicit or informal sources or online. They also advised people to refrain from vaping e-cigarettes until
the cause of the outbreak is pinpointed.

On Wednesday, the American Medical Association called for a ban on all e- cigarette and vaping products that had not been approved by the FDA for
smoking cessation.

A proposed ban on flavored vapes, promised in September by the Trump administration, has not materialized. President Donald Trump reportedly
soured on the ban after advisers said it could cause economic harm to
owners of vaping stores and alienate voters.

'Chemical of concern'

Earlier this month, the CDC reported vitamin E acetate as a "chemical of concern" found in lung fluid samples collected from patients in 10 states.

Vitamin E acetate, a common substance approved for foods and cosmetics,
causes an immune reaction similar to pneumonia in the lungs when vaporized
and inhaled.

Almost 90 percent of EVALI patients who have been identified by state
health agencies had to spend time in the intensive care units of
hospitals, and one teen patient underwent a double lung transplant.
Outpatients showing symptoms of EVALI might actually have influenza, the
CDC said.

Also, in the state of Washington, where recreational cannabis is legal,
state Board of Health regulators moved this week to ban any vaping
products containing vitamin E acetate.

In another legal cannabis state, Colorado's health department has also put
more stringent rules on THC vapes, banning vitamin E acetate, polyethylene glycol and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil).

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
