   State and federal scientists have been investigating 215 vaping-related cases of severe lung illness
   Many of those sickened reported vaping cannabis
   Thursday, investigators reported find a vitamin E-derived oil in nearly all cannabis vapors linked to lung illnesses

   Federal and state scientists believe they may have discovered the chemical responsible for more than 200 vaping-related illnesses, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
   
   Nearly all of the samples of cannabis e-cigarette liquids tested contained the same oil derived from vitamin E, the Food and Drug Administration reportedly said in a briefing with state health officials on the call.
   
   According to previous reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many but not all of the 215 cases of vaping-related lung illnesses involved cannabis and bootleg products.
   
   FDA experts told the state officials that the oil, which has been associated with similar symptoms of severe lung infection was found in 10 of the 18 samples of cannabis e-cig liquids they tested.
   
   
   State officials told the Post that no unusual contaminants had been detected in the samples of regular nicotine vaping products they'd collected and tested from patients……

   
   
   Wonder why it would only be cannabis products and not tobacco

   Update:
   
   

   Vaping kills a THIRD person and has left 450 people sick: CDC health officials warn the habit is behind a deadly 'new lung disease' that has spread to 33 states across the country

   
   Hopefully that's just dailymail bullshitting as usual. But I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it did create a new lung disease.
   
   Apparently the vitamin E acetate is like grease in your lungs, which allows pneumonia bacteria to infect
