Further questions raised as a third person dies from lung disease potentially connected to e-cigarettes




A third person has died as authorities in the US continue to investigate a serious lung disease that could potentially be linked to e-cigarettes.

The latest death reported in Indiana comes as another person died in Oregon earlier this week.

Although no direct link has been made, the US Centers for Disease Control say they are now investigating a total of 450 cases across 33 states.

The CDC have reiterated that despite the deaths no direct link has been made between the disease and vaping devices or its liquids.

However they have said some laboratories have identified vitamin E acetate in samples taken from patients.
