标题：Characteristics of E-cigarette, or Vaping, Products Used by Patients with Associated Lung Injury and Products Seized by Law Enforcement — Minnesota, 2018 and 2019
摘要：What is already known about this topic? Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products also containing vitamin E acetate appear to be associated with e-cigarette, or vaping, product use–associated lung injury (EVALI). What is added by this report? Illicit THC-containing products submitted by 11 of 12 EVALI patients in Minnesota contained vitamin E acetate. Twenty THC-containing products seized during September 2019 contained vitamin E acetate; ten products seized during 2018, before the EVALI outbreak, did not contain vitamin E acetate. What are the implications for public health practice? These data further support a potential role for vitamin E acetate in EVALI. While potential toxicants continue to be evaluated, vitamin E acetate should not be added to e-cigarette, or vaping, products.
