HEALTH ALERT: Severe Pulmonary Injury Associated With Vaping
Since June 2019, there have been reports of at least 20 suspected cases in California of severe acute pulmonary injury in previously healthy adults with a recent history of vaping. Vaping refers to the increasingly popular practice of inhaling vapor from an e-cigarette device, which works by heating a liquid that can contain nicotine, marijuana, or other drugs. The liquids used in e-cigarettes are largely unregulated, and they can contain toxic chemicals that can cause lung damage; the long-term health impacts of vaping are unknown. Nationally, nearly 200 suspected cases have been reported. No suspected cases have been reported to the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department to date. Click here for details.
