Good morning and welcome back a health alert linked to vaping doctors say teenagers
and young adults are being
hospitalized across the US
furlong damage after using e
cigarettes. It’s become a
widespread issue in at least 8
states in Wisconsin this week.
The Health Department confirmed
15 cases of lung damage.
Meanwhile for teenagers in
Minnesota are getting treatment
for pulmonary disease after
vaping just last week we told
you about an FDA investigation
into reports of seizures,
painting and tremors after
vaping 127 cases have been
reported since April. Experts
are still trying to determine
whether vaping was directly
linked to those cases joining
me now is doctor Rachel per
wreak
a neurologist with Memorial
Hospital. Thank you Sir so much
for coming in
this is a very important
conversation to have and I
think including myself this is
a misconception. I’m not a smoker, but I always thought that vaping for whatever reason
was not as harmful has
cigarette and I think that
misconception is shared among
many people that’s good so
vaping is not as harmful but he
still harmful days and it could
in that and you couldn’t is the
main
substance that.
>> That brings on a lot
troubles, especially civilian
victim itself so.
>> The day being in vaping lot
of time saying that people are
able to get.
Could the cigarettes
it’s all but then you are
trying to get back on to the
vaping itself said making outs
the states. It’s not
without its.
>> Working in news week after
week we see headlines involving
or including e cigarettes of
some sort of a being of some
sort from marketing in
targeting younger audiences to
people of all ages using these
types of devices to get their
nicotine. One thing that we
were talking about during
the break. The triggers that
triggers a vaping while say out
in a club with certain
lighting particular instances
for triggers.
>> It’s a pretty good size
aiding the flashing lights and
strobe lights at times are
pretty good for Caesars
that can being on and someone
had underlying tendency to
seize are any kind of and then
see to have sees itself now
the Ping. They’re trying to
investigate the fda’s find
investigative phase and into
your link are a good cause
there to be putting itself does
it, but we know that Nick would
in itself is associated
that that sees as the time so
if someone has or d-san
including then it can it can
give the seizures what FDA is
looking into this investigation
is is that anybody get kind of
band all our concentration of
nicotine itself that’s being
used in the meeting devices.
This is related to
sees itself. That’s passing
when you hear these numbers
these recent numbers.
>> You find him to be
staggering. Yes, I think it’s
it’s a
>> important to kind of follow
and find out if there’s any of
the a link between them and be
cautious and I think to that
and saw her younger daughter
out friends, if you’ve if you
see anything concerning
you should go on online order
to go to the reporting that
site and then accuse report
on what would be used how much
conservation the use what kind
of ban be used and to put that
so that would help going
forward if there is any of the
big risks,
especially like no logical
issues fainting at times are
having the city in Payson
orders are families lot of time
to see that a crime was to
after having week.
>> Our particular segment.
Dries attention to teenagers
and young people you as
a doctor as a neurologist what
would you say to parents
out there who same and my my
child is just hooked on vaping
my teenagers hooked on vaping
well it must be better than
smoking a cigarette.
It’s OK what would you tell
them what would you tell
parents what would you tell
people who are hoped to these
devices to vaping what would
you say that.
>> I was standing still as as
we discussed before it’s not
without the risk it still has
the nicotine and it contains a
lot
if side effects associated Nick
could increase is not over how
to discuss including as you can
see
Caesars and other lung issues
and also cardiovascular heart
problems.
>> A lot of issues. Yes think
