Didn’t read it did you? Those were all those cases in the news and have never been linked to nicotine only vapes. It was from sketchy companies using subpar ingredients.
The most common brand associated with EVALI is Dank Vape, a brand of products containing THC, the principal psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
Exclusively using products with THC increases risk for EVALI. (It’s unclear whether people who used nicotine-only vapes also were exposed to vape products with THC, or whether other ingredients caused the lung injury.)
Vitamin E acetate is strongly associated with EVALI. It is found largely in counterfeit brands (and recently in Juul products from South Korea). Vitamin E is a supplement considered safe when ingested or applied to the skin. Vitamin E acetate is an oil derivative used in vaping products as a thickener. It is found in about half of the products associated with EVALI. A recent small study found vitamin E deposits in the lung tissue of EVALI patients.
Is breathing in any modern city putting stuff other than air in your lungs? Yes. Multiple studies have shown that nicotine on its own is no more dangerous than caffeine. Do you drink coffee or tea? If you don’t want to vape that’s fine, but it’s an enormous harm reduction tool for people who did or do smoke cigarettes, and people like you with no evidence just demonizing it for no reason just pushes people back to the tobacco companies. Smoking does kill, at enormously dangerous rates, so anything that helps people stop smoking is good, especially if it’s a substitution with minimal health risks of its own.

Is vaping only nicotine putting something other than air in your lungs? Yes? It’s causing you harm.
Are you one of the people that also think smoking doesn’t kill because there are 90 year olds out there that smoked a pack a day for 20 years?
