(TMU<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Monday that it launched an investigation into the fast-growing phenomenon of people getting<\/a> \u201csevere\u201d lung disease in connection with vaping.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to the CDC, nearly 100 people have contracted serious and often life-threatening lung illnesses that may be linked to their use of illicit e-cigarettes, which heat oils into inhalable aerosols, allowing users to consume nicotine, THC or CBD in a highly discrete and smoke-free manner.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> comes as counterfeit vaping cartridges proliferate across the U.S. with generic packaging and false labels that obscure the fact that they contain a number of mysterious adulterants including cough syrup, various hydrocarbons, toxic heavy metals<\/a> such as lead, and dangerous synthetic cannabinoids \u2014a category that includes the lethal drug K2 or \u201cspice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In many cases, black-market cartridges also contain myclobutanil\u2014a fungicide that when heated releases hydrogen cyanide, a chemical found in Zyklon-B, the poison used in Nazi gas chambers during the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
