        CDC recommends that people do not use e-cigarette, or vaping, products that contain THC. Data suggests products containing THC, particularly those obtained off the street or from informal sources (like friends, family, or dealers), play a major role in the lung injury outbreak.

        Since the specific cause or causes of lung injury are not yet known, the best way to stay healthy & safe while we learn more is to consider refraining from use of all e-cigarette, or vaping, products. All tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, carry a risk.

        If you are using e-cigarette, or vaping, products to quit smoking, do not return to smoking cigarettes. Adults addicted to nicotine using e-cigarettes should weigh all risks and benefits and consider using FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapies. http://www.cdc.gov/lunginjury

        If you use e-cigarette, or vaping, products, get medical care right away if you have symptoms like those reported in this outbreak, such as cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, or weight loss. http://www.cdc.gov/lunginjury

        I'll help you with California, @CDCDirector ICYMI: @CAPublicHealth has known about the #vapi issue since June 18; 121 days ago! Just like @CDCgov, they rely on "self reporting", even though many people lie re: illicit drugs How is 92% #THC drug #harm isn't an #epidemic?pic.twitter.com/YhGUbd1AnW

        And just for your info, @CDCgov is directly responsible for 50% of those cases due to miss information and withholding accurate information from public, make no mistake about it
