Abstract: Abstract “E-Cigarette (e-cig) Vaping-Associated Acute Lung Injury” (EVALI) has been linked to vitamin-E-acetate (VEA) and Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), due to their presence in patients’ e-cigs and biological samples. Lacking standardized methodologies for patients’ data collection and… read more here.
