FDA Warns "Wellness" Vapes To Be Harmful

Introduction

FDA has announced that some manufacturers of vaping products are making false claims that certain e-cigarettes are useful to fight off tumors or treat asthma, ADHD or dementia.

The announcement came on December 7, which alerted the public about vaping manufacturers claiming that wellness vapes are safe. The federal drug regulators even notified that the companies failed to adequately warn about the harmful risks of using vaping products, as the devices contain toxic ingredients that could result in adverse health effects.

Manufacturers of wellness vapes claim that these products provide mental clarity and can treat asthma or tumors. Other claims from manufacturers include that the products help to prevent anemia, treat ADHD, dementia, anxiety and depression and can even clear symptoms of chemotherapy.

The FDA warning issued that the products are deceptively advertised of providing health benefits which is not true. As per the agency, FDA has not approved any of the vaping products to prevent or treat health conditions or diseases.

The reports state that the usage of vape products could lead to cause airway tightening, coughing and difficulty in speaking and breathing. The products even contain impurities and toxic ingredients that may result in causing permanent damage, such as bronchiolitis obliterans.

FDA guidelines even notified that some e-cigarettes and vaping products contain harmful chemicals and carcinogens which include diethylene glycol found in antifreeze. These chemicals are harmful to human health and can be hidden on the product label under proprietary blends. The agency even warned that people with heart disease, diabetes and lung conditions are at a higher risk of serious complications due to the products.

The FDA regulators even warned that the products are unsafe for humans and would waste consumer money. It would even prevent a person from seeking appropriate treatment and diagnosis from a healthcare professional.
