JUUL filed in court Tuesday a request to extend the temporary pause on its product ban in the U.S. The e-cigarette company is fighting back against last week's FDA order to stop selling and distributing its products nationwide.
Since that announcement, some have taken to social media to tout, what they claim, is the relative safety of regulated vaping products.
Among the online claims are assertions that only illicit, THC-based vaping products have caused injuries and deaths, not commercial nicotine-based vaping products, which would be targeted, in part, by the JUUL ban.
THE QUESTION
Are THC products the sole cause of vaping-related illnesses and deaths in the U.S.?
THE SOURCE
Alyssa Dittner, respiratory therapist and COPD Program Coordinator at Novant Health
The CDC
THE ANSWER
No, THC products are not the sole cause of vaping-related illnesses and deaths in the U.S. The CDC has documented nicotine-only vapers who have been hospitalized with lung damage.
