In October 2019, a 17-year-old boy from the Bronx became the first teenager to die from a vaping-related illness; later that month, a teenager in Montana died of a vaping-related lung disease. This national outbreak has affected over 2,000 patients and killed more than 39 people in the last year alone. In fact, vaping illnesses had grown into such a rampant epidemic that the Governor’s Office of New York declared in fall 2019 that the state would outlaw the sale of all flavored vaping products.
