	The 2019–2020 outbreak of acute lung injuries in the United States ~~represents a pivotal juncture in modern public health communication~~. Designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as EVALI (“E-cigarette, or Vaping, Product Use-Associated Lung Injury”), the nomenclature explicitly embeds commercial electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) into the medical definition of the disease. This was maintained despite clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological evidence identifying vitamin E acetate in illicit, unregulated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cartridges—not standard nicotine e-liquids—as the demonstrated cause of the ~~outbreak~~.		The 2019–2020 outbreak of acute lung injuries in the United States was real. The name given to it was the problem.

			The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named the outbreak “E-cigarette, or Vaping, Product Use-Associated Lung Injury,” or EVALI. That name embedded e-cigarettes and vaping into the medical language of the outbreak, even as clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological evidence increasingly pointed to vitamin E acetate in illicit, unregulated THC cartridges, not standard nicotine e-cigarettes.

	~~This page compiles empirical journal data, formal policy critiques, and contemporary media analysis documenting how~~ the ~~"EVALI" designation generated an unprecedented public health information shock~~. By conflating ~~distinct product categories~~, ~~this nomenclature~~ distorted risk perceptions ~~globally. It led a majority of adult smokers~~ and ~~youth to mistakenly believe~~ that regulated nicotine vaping ~~was~~ the ~~cause~~ of the ~~injuries~~. ~~Consequently~~, ~~peer-reviewed economic~~ and ~~behavioral data demonstrate~~ that this ~~ongoing institutional misclassification severely disrupted tobacco harm-reduction efforts~~, ~~suppressed e-cigarette demand for smoking cessation~~, and ~~inadvertently drove~~ a ~~resurgence in combustible tobacco consumption~~.		The harm from the name “EVALI” did not end when the outbreak ended. By conflating nicotine vapor products with illicit THC cartridges, public health messaging distorted risk perceptions, contributed to widespread misunderstanding, and left many people believing that regulated nicotine vaping caused the injuries. That confusion affected many people. People who had switched from combustible tobacco to nicotine vaping went back to smoking. Some people who smoked tobacco became leery of switching. People using unregulated THC carts may not have recognized quickly enough that the warnings applied to the products they were using. With better messaging, some of the illnesses and deaths might have been averted.

			This page documents efforts to get the CDC to correct that name, the consequences of leaving it unchanged, the scientific evidence identifying the source of the outbreak, and the people who tried to correct the record in real time. It does this by bringing together journal articles, formal policy critiques, media analysis, public health statements, and consumer-led documentation to show how one imprecise name became a lasting public health communication failure.

			===Ongoing misinformation and loss of trust===
			Consumers are still struggling to trust the CDC. They are left wondering why it was they who had to take to social media to warn the public about the danger of unregulated THC carts cut with vitamin E acetate. They are also left wondering why vape shops had to tell customers that their cannabis use was their own business, but that until things got sorted out, they should smoke cannabis instead of vaping it. Why were consumers and shops quicker at getting the word out than the CDC? Those consumers are left wondering if that was the right time for the CDC to practice the "precautionary principle?"

			To this day, consumers and academics use up considerable amounts of their free time, pushing back against misinformation that is keeping some people trapped in smoking tobacco. "EVALI" is still something weaponized, fueling a moral panic about nicotine vaping, and encouraging policymakers to raise taxes and/or ban the products. The CDC's lack of urgency in addressing the source of the misinformation means the word "EVALI" keeps consumers from trusting anything the CDC says.

By conflating distinct product categories, this nomenclature distorted risk perceptions globally. It led a majority of adult smokers and youth to mistakenly believe that regulated nicotine vaping was the cause of the injuries. Consequently, peer-reviewed economic and behavioral data demonstrate that this ongoing institutional misclassification severely disrupted tobacco harm-reduction efforts, suppressed e-cigarette demand for smoking cessation, and inadvertently drove a resurgence in combustible tobacco consumption.

			*This article incorrectly states, “In the wake of the e-cigarette or vaping use-related lung injury (EVALI) outbreak in September 2019, electronic cigarette manufacturer JUUL voluntarily removed flavored pods aside from tobacco and menthol from the U.S. market” That sentence is false and creates a factually inaccurate and damaging link in a reader’s mind between JUUL products and the 2019 lung injuries (EVALI) when none exists. In fact, Juul Labs reduced its flavor portfolio to tobacco and menthol to combat underage use and the ingredients of JUUL products do not include vitamin E compounds or THC that were primarily linked to EVALI.
