Given the highly localised and sudden/synchronised bout of illness associated with vaping, to me it immediately seemed reasonable to assume contamination of a specific batch of products rather than the act of vaping in general being an issue.

I'm not saying vaping doesn't perhaps have long term negative effects, just that the pattern of illness suggested an issue with specific products.



it wasn't a contaminated batch. we know what caused it. it was a particular formulation of vape juice used by multiple suppliers.


That's what I meant. Specific products were using a harmful substance, rather than the act of vaping causing illness.


ok sure. contaminated often implies some kind of accidental addition of harmful substances which isn't the case here which is what I was clarifying.
