VAPING. TRUTH AND HYSTERIA PART 2

VAPING. TRUTH AND HYSTERIA PART 2

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE MEDIA IS TELLING YOU!

With growing concern regarding the media and the misinformation we want to reach out to vapers and smokers to help clear the air on the current situation.
The current outbreak of Lipid Pneumonia across the states and 1 case in London Ontario reported are not linked to vaping nicotine. Vaping as a nicotine replacement has been around for over 15 years without any hospitalizations or deaths. In the last few months reports show that over 800 cases of Lipid Pneumonia and 12 deaths have occurred and they are blanketing the source under vaping. if you look deeper into this situation why are so many cases appearing so fast when there is no history of this in over 15 years.

THE REAL CULPRIT
The real culprit to the sudden outbreak of lipid pneumonia. These black market pods tested positive for vitamin E oil which when vaped will lead to lipid pneumonia! Please people do not vape product that contain any oils. Purchase your liquid from a reputable vape shop that sells Canadian made regulated and compliant labeled products.

BLACK MARKET THC PODS
There have been 3 reported seizures of Homemade black market THC pods in the US and counting. These pods have tested positive for Vitamin E Oils, MCT Coconut oils, and pesticides. These additives were used to stretch their THC supply further as a cutting agent. 

VITAMIN E OIL
Vaping any product that contains any type of oil can cause a lung disease called Lipid Pneumonia. This is caused when the oils coat the lungs and block fresh air. If you do vape THC products please be sure to purchase them from a regulated source and also make sure the ingredients do not contain any oils.


DR. MACKIE FINALLY SPEAKS

“The respiratory failure presented as an advanced form of lipid pneumonia…” “Incidentally this product was a product purchased online by this youth. It was not something purchased in a store in Canada.”
CANADIAN REGULATED E-LIQUID
Canada has the second best Regulations on E-liquid manufacturing next to England. All regulated liquids sold in reputable vape shops are held to a government approved standard with batch traceability and quality control. The ingredients include Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, Natural/Artificial Flavouring, and Liquid nicotine. All of which are water soluble and easily absorbed and flushed from our bodies.

Canadian regulations prohibit the use of:
Vitamin E Acetate (Oil)
MCT Coconut Oil
Lipids or Fatty Acids
Food Coloring

Public Health England reassures vapers following US Health scares.
As the ninth person in the US has tragically lost his life to the mysterious lung disease which has been linked to vaping unlicensed THC and nicotine products, Public Health England (PHE) is reassuring e-cig users in the UK, that their stance on vaping remains unchanged.

Vaping. Truth and Hysteria

Vaping. Truth and Hysteria

The truth about Vaping… not what the media is telling you!

Vaping store bought nicotine products is not the problem!

Fact
Vaping has been around for over 17 years and popular for over 10 of those. That being said we would also like to say that not one person has been killed or hospitalized by vaping nicotine products.

What’s happening?
In the last two months there have been over 400 cases of lipid pneumonia and lung failure and the media is telling you this is due to “Vaping”. The media is leaving out a few very important facts and are actually putting more lives at risk in the process.

What’s really happening?
The real issue we face is that black market THC pods and cartridges have hit the market across the United States that contain Vitamin E Acetate (Oil). Inhaling Vitamin E Oil is a documented cause for lipoid pneumonia and other health risks.

The effect of the media.
We have heard that many vapers are seeing these false stories and going back to cigarettes. Also many smokers that may consider vaping as a safer alternative to smoking are being scared off by the media and fear mongering. As a specialty vape shop our main focus is on harm reduction and this is a step in the wrong direction.

Is my e-liquid safe?
Like we said before these cases seen across the U.S. are linked to Illicit THC products containing Vitamin E Oil. In Canada vaping is highly regulated from restriction of sales to minors all the way down to the production and accountability of our liquids. Nicotine e-liquids do not contain any oils whatsoever. They are produced using propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, natural/artificial flavouring and nicotine. All of these ingredients are water soluble and easily absorbed and flushed out of your body. So the answer is… If you are purchasing e-liquids from a trusted store you can rest easy knowing it is clean.

Public Health England recently posted on Twitter:
“Our advice on e-cigarettes remains unchanged – vaping isn’t completely risk free but is far less harmful than smoking tobacco. There is no situation where it would be better for your health to continue smoking rather than switching completely to vaping”
