The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted an update on the vaping-caused health crisis in the United States that has killed 57 people (as of Jan. 7). The CDC reiterated its stance that people not use THC-containing vapes or e-cigarettes, particularly from informal sources (meaning from an unofficial source -- friends, family or the black market).
