Scientists Are Zeroing In On An Additive That May Be The Key To Vaping-Related Deaths

In 2019, at least 47 people have died from a strange illness connected to vaping.
According to Allure, another 2,200 have gotten sick.
Health organizations are scrambling to discover the cause of the vaping-related illness.
Much is still unknown about the illness and its causes, but some important details have begun to emerge.
The CDC has found a common chemical across every sample: Vitamin E acetate.
It's an oil that's gained popularity on the black market lately as a thickener for THC.
As a topical application or dietary supplement, it's harmless. But when burnt and inhaled? Not so much.
