Doctor warns against vaping marijuana
Warning against vaping marijuana, Dr. Su Yi-feng highlighted the risks of severe pneumonia and death due to hazardous vapor substances. Recent incidents, including a Hong Kong gamer's prison sentence for trafficking marijuana vapes, have raised concern. Vapes often contain THC and CBD extracted from marijuana, attracting young users despite health dangers. The US has seen cases of severe pneumonia and deaths linked to cannabis vaping. Harmful additives like tocopherol acetate can be fatal. The New York State Department of Health found high tocopherol acetate levels in marijuana e-cigarette products linked to lung injuries. Dr. Su emphasized the dangers, especially for youth with developing brains.
