Even though vitamin E acetate is safely used in nutritional supplements, it isn’t safe to inhale into the lungs. Most US deaths from vaping-related illness involved products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Of the 19 deaths included in the study, 84% of victims had used THC products, while 63% had exclusively used THC products. Cannabis use might have been under-reported because it remains illegal in some states, CDC noted. THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. The study also found that e-cigarette users were more likely than non-smokers to report using other tobacco products: 22% said they smoked cigarettes, compared with 16% who said they tried an electronic cigarette.
