Deaths from vaping-linked lung disease in US connected to vitamin E additive

A vitamin E chemical is likely to be at least partly responsible for an outbreak of a vaping-linked lung disease that has caused 380cases of pulmonary distress and six deaths across the US. The nutritional supplement vitamin E acetate or tocopheryl acetate is now the main focus of the US government’s investigation into this vaping-associated medical condition that has emerged in recent months. No similar phenomenon has been reported in other countries.
