Why did Wal-Mart stop selling vape?

US retail chain giant Wal-Mart announced on the 20th that it will stop selling vape in US stores.

Wal-Mart has stated that the suspension of vape's decision will apply to all Wal-Mart supermarkets and this Sam's member store.

The statement said that federal, state and local regulators' restrictions on vapes are becoming more complex and uncertain, and Wal-Mart will stop selling vapes after they have sold them.

U.S. President Donald Trump regarded vape as a "new problem" facing the country on the grounds of "multiple deaths and many other problems." Government officials subsequently said that the US Food and Drug Administration intends to ban the sale of flavored vapes nationwide.

The Associated Press quoted data from the Centers for Diseases and Prevention on the 19th, reporting that more than 500 people in the United States have confirmed or suspected to have respiratory diseases due to the use of vape. It is reported that so far eight people have died of lung diseases related to vape, and the latest death case appeared in Missouri a few days ago, with patients in their 40s.

As of September 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported more than 450 cases of severe lung disease that may be related to the use of "vape". Three types of lung injuries were found in these cases, including: lipid pneumonia, alveolar hemorrhage, and cryptogenic tissue pneumonia.

As of September 10, 2019, six people have died.

a) Illinois (Reported August 23)-no details

b) Oregon (September 5th)-A middle-aged patient has used THC oil purchased from a legal pharmacy, but there is no guarantee that he will not use an illegal THC cartridge.

c) Indiana (Reporting September 6)-No details

d) Minnesota (Reporting on September 6)-An elderly person over 65 years old used illegal THC products.

e) Los Angeles, California (September 6th)-No details, but according to the Los Angeles Times, "Almost all of the 12 people hospitalized in Los Angeles County use THC oil."

f) Kansas (Reporting September 10)-No details available.

Need to worry about using vape with nicotine e-liquid?

In short, no. Evidence continues to suggest that poor-quality street fogging products containing THC or other substances are the culprits in causing these diseases.

Adult smokers who use nicotine atomized products purchased in the store to quit or reduce smoking should not be scared away by these incidents, nor should they mislead smokers into thinking that re-smoking traditional tobacco is a better choice than using vape.

vWhat did the test find?

In each state where detailed data has been published, the vast majority of patients or all affected patients have reported the use of illegal THC products. Nonetheless, CDC officials and public health activists continue to warn of caution on nebulizing products, based on a small number of patients with emerging patients who use only nicotine nebulizing products.

vDr. Melodi Pirzada, a pulmonologist at New York University's Langone Hospital, treated two patients who used THC nebulizers. He told reporter Foster Winans about the case of an 18-year-old man. "We performed a multi-million dollar check and couldn't figure out what was causing it. He kept denying the use of the aerosol product until his family found a device containing hemp oil in his bedroom, and then we learned of his symptoms It started when he started using it. "

The Washington Post's Lena Sun has spoken to many state health officials and doctors who have treated patients in this area, and they have similar feedback. "Patients, especially adolescents, are generally reluctant to disclose whether they have used cannabis products."

"Not everyone recognizes the use of THC oil," said Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. "We can't tell if it's because they are afraid to admit it or because they have never used it. "

Cannabis is still illegal at the federal level and in most states, and as patients become younger (Illinois and Wisconsin patients average 19 years old), some or all patients are reluctant to disclose them after their parents and police participated in the investigation The entire process of aerosolizing the product is reasonable.
