ACCOMACK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT CONFIRMS THREE CASES OF VAPING ILLNESS
ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va—The Accomack County Health Department has confirmed three cases of severe lung illnesses associated with vaping.
Dr. Richard Williams, acting Health Director at the Accomack County Health Department says there’s not enough evidence that shows vaping is a better alternative to smoking cigarettes.
“I don’t think the evidence is strong enough to recommend vaping as a smoking alternative, at this point,” says Dr. Williams.
The health department says the cause of these illnesses is not clear at this time. Health experts say anything you inhale into your lungs, can be potentially dangerous.
The health department says if you have any respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and pain after vaping, then you should go to your nearest hospital.
