The chief medical officer of the State Department of Health Services says traces of Vitamin E acetate were found in samples of Wisconsin vaping products containing THC.
Vitamin E acetate is used in skincare products but it appears to be harmful when used in vaping oils. Doctor John Meiman says recent samples in Wisconsin did reveal from traces to substantial amounts of the chemical. Some health officials believe the chemical is to blame for the 13-hundred vaping illnesses nationwide and 76 cases in Wisconsin.
