A Mayo
Clinic study of vaping-related lung injuries finds that "toxic chemical
fumes," not oils, may be to blame for the illnesses. The findings, published
Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine, was based on the biopsies of
17 people with confirmed or possible cases of vaping-related lung injuries,
including two patients who died. All of the subjects had a history of vaping,
with 71% of them having used marijuana or cannabis oils.
