What Is Vitamin E Acetate? The Potential Cause Behind Vaping Illness, Explained
How may vitamin E acetate lead to vaping-related illness?, an assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University. She points out that there is a “pretty strong correlation” between vitamin E acetate and EVALI, but there’s no current proof that vitamin E acetate actuallyEVALI—just that it’s been detected in many EVALI patients. Still, “vitamin E is the most likely culprit at this point,” Alan says.
That includes vitamin E, and because it’s a fat soluble vitamin “it’s really sticky and oily,” Alan says. That’s fine when it’s on your skin because it’s hydrating, but in the lungs, it may “cling to lung tissue” where it could potentially cause direct damage or cause indirect damage by activating your immune system, she says. But more research needs to be done to understand exactly how vitamin E acetate may cause lung illness.
“We don’t know enough about vaping and we don’t know the true dangers,” Alan says. “I would avoid vaping altogether until there is more research done.”
