      In 2019 there was an outbreak of a respiratory condition called EVALI and commonly referred to as ‘vape lung.’

      Reported cases sharply dropped off in 2020, despite an increase in vape sales.

      I just think it’s interesting, is all.

        I suspect the dumbfounded reply you received was because one expected the word ‘epidemic’ to be used instead.

        ‘pandemic’ usually is taken to mean it has spread across several international boundaries. ‘pan,’ meaning ‘all.’

          Vitamin E and MCT oil are the most heavily cited causes and you can still get cartridges made with both.
