Abstract

Abstract: Vaping is a growing concern in adolescents, and a growing proportion is using electronic devices to inhale cannabis oil. The short‐term and long‐term effects of cannabis oil inhalation are not well understood. We report on a case of severe acute lung injury secondary to inhalation of cannabis oil via a vape pen, and propose a new term that describes lung injury related to vaping.
