        2/? Twenty-six deaths have been confirmed in 21 states. All patients have reported a history of using e-cigarette, or vaping, products. Most patients (71%) BUT NOT ALL report a history of using THC-containing products. Several report using nicotine only products.

        3/? Anyone who uses e-cigarette or vaping products should not buy these products from informal sources (e.g. friends, family members) or “off the street,” and should not modify or add any substances to these products that are not intended by the manufacturer.

        And 1300 will die today from cigarettes. ILLEGAL Drugs killed 26. Vaping has killed 0. What is the point here? #vapeban

        Now if only you had the guts to actually call out the real culprit. Hint: It's black market THC!

        Illegal THC Vit-E acetate is the cause! NOT e-liquid containing nicotine! Without reporting it correctly it will do no good and only lead people back to smoking or stop them from using what is the actual cause!

        Vaping is world wide and this is only happening here..... Wonder why? And the 21% remaining are probably THC use in states where it's illegal and they are afraid to report it and catch a felony charge. #civildisobedience #msabloodmoney

        How many more will die @Surgeon_General before your first tweet in a thread says to avoid black market THC products? More Americans are going back to deadly cigarettes. Do their deaths count as well? #StopLungInjury #CannabisCommunity
