Lipoid pneumonia is a rare condition caused by inhaling lipids or fatty substances. Vaping oils or e-liquids that contain lipids can potentially contribute to lipoid pneumonia. If you have concerns, consult with a healthcare professional. In the context of vaping, it has been associated with inhaling vaporized oils or lipid-based substances present in certain e-cigarettes or vaping products. This can lead to the accumulation of lipids in the lungs, causing inflammation and respiratory issues. It’s important to note that not all vaping products are linked to lipoid pneumonia, and more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between specific substances and this condition. However, there has been an outbreak of lung injuries and deaths associated with vaping. In February 2020-2023 the center disease control and prevention confirmed 2,807 cases of vaping use associated with lung injury and 68 deaths attributed to that condition.
Youth and young adults are also uniquely at risk for long-term effects of exposing their developing brains to nicotine. These risks include nicotine addiction, mood disorders, and permanent lowering of impulse control.
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as coughing, chest pain or difficulty breathing after vaping should seek prompt medical attention. Early detection and intervention is crucial in managing lipoid pneumonia and preventing its progression.
To reduce the risk of lipoid pneumonia and other vaping related health issues, it is essential for individuals to use the vaping product as intended. Avoiding the use of vape liquid with the oils, especially those not designed for inhalation, can significantly lower the risk of respiratory complications.
