From the article "One trend worth noting, however, is that very few of the cases involve only nicotine products; most of the afflicted users reported using THC exclusively or as well as nicotine."
I struggle to see why GP is completely ignoring this and is insinuating that normal nicotine vaping is dangerous. It is fabulously unlikely we have only just "discovered" this.
Instead, something has changed, and that has been detected.
I worry because there seems to be a very strong media campaign of "don't vape nicotine", when the facts I have read say "don't vape THC carts". I imagine that there is an argument that it is safer to be over-cautious, but it also discourages smokers from converting to vaping. Vaping is not healthy, but it seems to be far healthier than smoking. I have very clearly seen the health positives of vaping within my own social circle. Maybe there is no disinformation campaign, but something seems majorly weird about this topic.
Disclaimer: never smoked nor vaped.
How about also asking another question: do some people using cannabis "dank" vapes lie?
Police, perception, insurance: three good reasons cannabis smokers wouldn't give the truth and might just say they smoked nicotine.
