Trump plant Verbot des Verkaufs von aromatisierten E-Zigaretten

By Jordi Bou

September 12, 2019 - US Gesundheitsbehörden untersuchen mehr als 450 Fälle von schweren Lungenkrankheiten sowie sechs Todesfälle, die mit dem Konsum von E-Zigaretten oder Vapern in 36 Staaten und den US Jungferninseln in Zusammenhang stehen sollen.

The Trump administration has said that it would ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes, at a time when hundreds of people have been sickened by mysterious lung illnesses and teenage vaping continues to rise.

The outbreak is still serious enough that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for the public to abstain from using vaping products, and for those with symptoms to see a doctor.

The observed symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever and abdominal pain, and they’ve typically developed over a period of days or weeks.

The center said the outbreak does not seem to be caused by an infection, and the leading suspect is chemical exposure.

Although no single substance or product has been pinpointed for the illnesses, most patients have said they used e-cigarettes with THC, the main psychoactive chemical in marijuana. Many also said they were vaping nicotine, with or without THC.
