Since the cannabis flower or concentrate is heated at a lower temperature and no smoke is involved, many argue that fewer cannabinoids are destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"the-risks-of-vaping-cannabis\">\n\tThe risks of vaping cannabis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, vape concentrates and cartridges sometimes include thinning agents or other additives. When heated, these can break down into compounds such as formaldehyde, which are carcinogenic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the CDD, in August 2019, hundreds of cases of lung disease arose which were later linked to vaping. By the end of 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/severe-lung-disease.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at least 55 deaths and more than 2,500 hospitalizations due to lung injuries in all 50 states<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. By February 18, 2020, the number of deaths had increased to 68 and hospitalizations to 2,807. The disease has since been referred to as EVALI, and is strongly correlated with THC vape cartridges found on the illicit market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CDC has released findings based on hospital admissions and laboratory data that suggest that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vitamin E acetate has played a role in the EVALI outbreak. Vitamin E acetate is often used to dilute or thicken THC oil because it's colorless, odorless, has a similar viscosity to THC oil, and is much cheaper. Referred to as a cutting agent, it can be used to stretch the amount of THC oil in vape pens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1916433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">study published<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in the December 2019 New England Journal of Medicine, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vitamin E acetate was identified in fluid obtained from 48 of 51 patients in 16 states but was not present in such fluid obtained from healthy patients. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/68\/wr\/mm6842e1.htm?s_cid=mm6842e1_e&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM11453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Further data from Utah<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has found vitamin E acetate present in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/68\/wr\/mm6842e1.htm?s_cid=mm6842e1_e&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM11453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">89 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of the vape cartridges collected from patients with symptoms of EVALI.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The authors of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1916433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New England Journal of Medicine study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> theorized that vitamin E acetate may contribute to lung injury by creating ketene when heated.
