The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging people to stop vaping THC products as the death toll from a vaping-related lung disease rose again this week with no signs of abating.
The illness has sickened 805 people across 46 states and one territory, the CDC said Friday. One person died in Oregon and another reportedly died in North Carolina, bringing the death toll from the mysterious disease to at least 14.
"Of the patients who reported what products they used, THC-containing products were the most prominent link across patients, with only 16% reporting using only nicotine-containing products," Schuchat said. Illinois and Wisconsin officials in a report also published Friday found "Dank Vapes" was the most commonly used brand of pre-filled THC cartridges.
