Earlier this month, the New York State Health Department found high levels of vitamin E acetate in almost all cannabis vaping products used by New Yorkers who got sick with a severe pulmonary disease.
The FDA, CDC and their state partners are following the presence of Vitamin E acetate found in many of the samples (vaping products) submitted for testing.
Health officials are also analyzing the presence of other chemicals found on e-cigarettes/vaping products including nicotine, THC and other cannabinoids as well as cutting agents/diluents and other additives, pesticides, opioids, poisons, heavy metals and toxins.
