Presented by Laura Crotty Alexander, University of California, San Diego

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center, 100 Academy Way, Irvine

Before the hubbub over e-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury (EVALI), we had growing evidence that vaping would cause health problems. But how did this disease blow-up so fast? Is it really Vitamin E causing these cases of severe lung injury? We will discuss what is known and unknown about the effects of nicotine and THC containing e-cigarette aerosols on respiratory health, cardiovascular health, and neuro, renal and hepatic health while we are at it! Outside of this acute disease entity (EVALI), what health effects are likely to occur due to vaping?
