Description:
What is already known about this topic? Twenty-five states have reported more than 200 possible cases of severe pulmonary disease associated with the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). What is added by this report? Based on available information, the disease is likely caused by an unknown chemical exposure; no single product or substance is conclusively linked to the disease. What are the implications for public health practice? Until a definitive cause is known, persons should consider not using e-cigarettes. Those who use e-cigarettes should seek medical attention for any health concerns. Clinicians should report possible cases to their local or state health department.
