*Our concern is that the responses we have seen to the problem in the US and in other countries may increase the already widespread misunderstanding about the relative safety of nicotine e-cigarettes, deterring smokers from switching and risk driving vapers who have switched back to smoking.

A report in Utah also noted that Dank Vapes were the most popular black market product used by people with EVALI.
