At least five people died after using electronic cigarettes in the United States. Vitamin E oil could be involved.
For the moment it is not yet clear what substances could be involved in these five deaths related to the use of the electronic cigarette, but the US health authorities, who carry out several analyzes, are following the oil trail closely. of vitamin E.
This oil which is consumed by capsule or application on the skin could be at the origin of the deterioration of the lungs of the vapers, even of their death. Because, as indicated by the pulmonologist and tobaccoologist Bertrand Dautzenberg, the lungs hate oily products.
The lung, a fragile organ
" The lung is a very sensitive organ that likes certain products and does not like others," says the doctor. The lung absolutely hates everything that is oily products. Putting oily extracts of vitamin E in an electronic cigarette is exposing oneself to serious diseases or even death as seen in the United States .
Refills sold under the name of Dank Vapes could be involved in the deaths of American vapers. Distributed in the street and on the Internet, these products actually contain vitamin E oil.
Buy legally sold products
" The recommendation is really to buy products that are legally sold in France, advises Professor Dautzenberg. All products that are legally marketed in France will never give the effects observed in the United States .
The investigation is still ongoing in the United States, and US health authorities recommend not using electronic cigarettes, regardless of the brand.
