by Evelyn Wisebourt Recently, US health authorities released a statement linking lung-based diseases to a vitamin E added in vape juices. This is thought to have affected over 2000 American vapers, and caused 39 deaths. Medical professionals from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed and confirmed these results. Typically, vitamin E oil is harmless. In fact, it is used in many home remedies and relaxation processes. It is known to have many advantages, that is, until inhaled. When they are in fact inhaled (through the e-cigarettes), the oils become toxic and very dangerous. They can "cloud" up the lungs, and can cause illnesses. This new research has in fact motivated and given incentive to President Trump to ban vapes completely. As a result of these possible actions, vape shops would be forced to close down permanently. This has created a ton of controversy in the nation amongst vapers. In fact, on November 9th, 2019, there was a protest against the banning of vapes outside of the White House in Washington DC.

Scientists are solidifying their discoveries through the use of animal testing in lab procedures. So, in a couple years, will the use of vape products still be relevant? Will the risks decrease, or increase? Will there be a better solution for smokers trying to quit? Truthfully speaking, only time will tell what the future of e-cigarettes holds.
