As marijuana sales rise, vaping weed is becoming increasingly popular for its discreet and odorless nature compared to smoking. Aaron Smith of the National Cannabis Industry Association notes this trend, likening it to the shift from tobacco to e-cigarettes. Although vaping may pose fewer risks to lung health, actual safety data remains limited due to marijuana's federal status. Moreover, vape products can contain various additional chemicals, complicating safety assessments. Incidents of lung damage linked to additives like vitamin E acetate highlight the need for regulation and oversight in this growing market.
"We're definitely seeing an increase in sales for vapes; the liquid inside is heated to lower temperatures that may do less harm."
"Research on the health effects of marijuana is sparse because it remains federally illegal, and no two vape brands are alike."
