Officials warn against vaping THC over fears it is causing mystery lung illnesses dubbed 'EVALI'

As cases of vaping-linked lung illnesses mount to nearly 1,300 in the US, officials still don't know what in e-cigarettes is making people sick.

But vaping THC is a common thread in 76 percent of the reported illnesses, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are urging all Americans: 'Do not use e-cigarette or vaping products that contain THC.'

It's a slightly stepped-up warning and comes as early tests of confiscated cartridges and e-liquids found some have THC concentrations as high as 77 percent. On average, they were about 41 percent THC - still twice what's in a pot plant.

i highly doubt THC is whats causing the illness. Probably some other filler ingredient.
