This week, Dr. Christine Stork, Clinical Director at the Upstate New York Poison Center joins Dan Cummings on Newsmakers. They discuss the growing number of severe lung disease cases related to vaping products. There are 450 cases now confirmed in 33 states, including at least 34 cases in New York and at least six people have died. Federal and state health officials are warning people against using vaping or e-cigarette products until investigators are able to identify the sources and causes of the lung disease associated with these products.
