Original Note:
The assumption that EVALI was related to e-cigarettes is false, it has been known for quite some time to be a direct result of illegal THC cartridges that have been cut with Vitamin E Acetate (an ingredient that cannot be mixed into a regular nicotine e-cig). https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/dec/20/vitamin-e-acetate-most-likely-caused-us-vaping-injuries-say-experts https://www.gov.uk/government/news/false-fears-preventing-smokers-from-using-e-cigarettes-to-quit https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6952050/ https://www.salford.gov.uk/your-council/news/news-archive/news-from-march-2023/fresh-warning-issued-over-danger-of-thc-or-cannabis-oil-vapes-which-contain-toxic-chemical/ https://www.contemporarypediatrics.com/view/evali-cases-linked-illicit-thc-cartridges
