Clinical Corner:
Q&A: What you should know about
the lung disease outbreak linked to vaping
Vaping has become increasingly popular in the United States, and along with it, lung diseases linked to the use of e-cigarettes. Many of those being directly affected are teens and young adults. Hundreds of Americans across the U.S. have been sickened by the disease in recent weeks.
Recently, a lot of questions have come up about the affects of vaping, and the experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America have compiled a Q&A to help better understand the risks.
