• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): At certain levels, VOCs can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches and nausea, and can damage the liver, kidney and nervous system.
• Flavoring chemicals: Some flavorings are more toxic than others. Studies have shown that flavors contain different levels of a chemical called diacetyl that has been linked to a serious lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans.
• Formaldehyde: This is a cancer-causing substance that may form if e-liquid overheats or not enough liquid is reaching the heating element (known as a “dry-puff”)

"Inhaling vaporized oil can cause lipoid pneumonia, in which the lungs become finely coated in oil, leading to difficulty breathing. There is no specific treatment for lipoid pneumonia, and patients often are put on a ventilator and treated with steroids to reduce inflammation and give their lungs a chance to recover." (San Fransisco Chronicle)

• As of October 8, 2019, 1,299* lung injury cases associated with the use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products have been reported to CDC from 49 states, the District of Columbia, and 1 U.S. territory.
• Twenty-six deaths have been confirmed in 21 states.
• All patients have reported a history of using e-cigarette, or vaping, products.
• Most patients report a history of using tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing products. The latest national and state findings suggest products containing THC, particularly those obtained off the street or from other informal sources (e.g. friends, family members, illicit dealers), are linked to most of the cases and play a major role in the outbreak.
