The number of Utahns suffering from severe lung disease associated with vaping has jumped to 35, according to the Utah Department of Health.
Another 12 “potential cases” are being investigated, the department said in a news release.
Nationally, there have been more than 450 cases in 33 states and five deaths — in California, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Oregon — have been linked to vaping.
The UDOH news release reiterated the information it released last week — that in “almost all” of the cases, the patients reported vaping either nicotine, THC products or a combination of both.
