U.S. health officials announced on Oct. 3 that the number of deaths and mysterious lung illnesses linked to electronic cigarettes and vaping are continuing to rise.
At least 1,080 people from across 48 states and one U.S. territory have reported a lung injury illness associated with using a vaping product, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s up from 805 cases the agency said it was investigating last week.
