	Around the world, limits are being placed on people who use THR products to help themselves stop smoking. There are many reasons for over-regulating and outright banning reduced-risk products. They include a moral panic over youth use, a false belief that THR products are a gateway to smoking, stigma about using nicotine, misinformation, click-bait media articles, and science riddled with methodological flaws (To learn more about these issues, please search this website). This is adversely affecting people's ability to save their own lives and improve their health by quitting smoking or preventing a return to smoking.

	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.

			*As the very real concern about the "vaping" illnesses and deaths spread, some states and cities moved quickly to ban nicotine vapes, or at least ban the flavors. They seemed to be unaware or ignored that it was unregulated THC products that were causing the outbreak. Consumers knew that the public needed an easy way to differentiate between THC and nicotine. Because so many illnesses were linked to a fake brand called "[https://www.wtvr.com/2019/09/27/in-lung-illness-outbreak-signs-point-to-majority-of-patients-vaping-thc-products Dank Vapes]," Andre Thov coined the term "DANKing." (See [https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BNi6XLKdM/ comments] on this Facebook post.) Consumers began using the term on social media.
			**Thov entered the term on [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Danking Urban Dictionary].
			**Advocates wrote reports and press releases, sometimes using the term "danking," to educate the public (often more strongly than public health or the CDC did). Examples: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w7ErqSmO-moRR0ExYBCSEy0Bc_yGwxfjlYq7kH_bnEk/edit?usp=sharing “DANKing”, the frightening trend that’s making people sick!] and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PDihlSLQjE0VmDDtwftTsSPqByAv3T8cHlZpnN4NXAQ/edit?usp=sharing For Immediate Release From: Tobacco Harm Reduction 4Life Public Health Warning]
			*At times, people with lived experience ("consumers") can feel unseen and unheard. They don't always know the power of their voices. Can they influence the conversation? They got their answer when they saw the word used on websites and media sources:
			**[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exRRX0xrKvE Deadly Pesticides Found In Counterfeit Vaping Products \| TODAY].
			**Erin Mills, affiliated with PAVe (Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes), [https://x.com/NYSMom4Kiddos/status/1171472581452419072 tweeted #danking].
			**A 2019 webpage titled “FAQs about the vaping lung illness epidemic” on VapingHealthRisk.com used the term “danking” in reference to THC or marijuana vaping products. The page is no longer available at its original URL; a current attempt to access it returns a 502 Bad Gateway error. The original URL was: https://vapinghealthrisk.com/faqs-about-the-vaping-lung-illness-epidemic/. A screenshot of the FAQ text reads: "Are vaping THC or marijuana (aka danking) products worse than nicotine e-cigarettes? Maybe. It appears as if THC and marijuana-related vaping or e-cigarette products may increase the risk of vaping lung diseases. The CDC reports the following usage patterns in the 30 days prior to becoming sick:" (the screenshot does not include the list)
			*Dray Moorman, who is both a consumer and a small business advocate, used the term in an Op-Ed published by NEWSMAX: [https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/vape-vote-vaping-voters-trump/2019/10/11/id/936690/ Dray Moorman: Vape Vote Could Outweigh Impeachment Damage in 2020]. In part, it said: "Smoking black market oil is called danking. THC oil made in a drug dealer’s kitchen has nothing to do with e-cigs. Yet, opportunists and mainstream media are exploiting tragedy to attack vaping. And by doing so, they may be trying to force President Trump to alienate 12 million voters."
			*Did those consumers have a lasting impact? While it was a thrill to have an influence on the narrative, most of them felt it wasn't big enough. But, perhaps, it was bigger than they thought. A 2025 WRTV Indianapolis article suggested the term may have had more staying power than consumers realized. In [https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/vape-shop-owner-shares-tips-to-avoid-black-market-products Vape shop owner shares tips to avoid black market products], Eskenazi Health Pulmonary Physician Graham Carlos said health officials haven't seen incidents like this since 2019. "People were what's called 'dabbing and danking.' That's when you add things to the pens and there was no regulation,"

	~~<br>~~

			===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.

			*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.

No treatment reverses it. The scarring is for life. Vaping was introduced as the safe alternative to smoking. It took cigarettes decades before the lung cancer data was undeniable. Vaping has had about 10 years. We are now at the beginning of that data curve, not the end of it.

	*"It’s official. ~~Flavored e~~-~~cigarettes cause permanent lung damage. And doctors are already seeing it happen...popcorn lung...This kind of exposure has already been linked to other lung injuries~~, including the 2019 EVALI crisis. Studies now show young people who vape report more breathing problems, even compared to smokers. Experts warn that without stronger regulations, clearer labeling, better testing, and public education, cases like this will only increase. Vaping may seem safer than smoking. But inhaling these chemical mixtures can cause permanent, life-shortening damage."

 *The CDC cannot undo the frightened headlines from 2019. It cannot reopen the vape shops that went under because of the panic. It cannot persuade every person who went back to cigarettes because they were falsely told, directly or by implication, that nicotine vaping had caused a wave of damaged lungs and death. But it can stop repeating the mistake.
