The soldier who is stationed overseas is still being treated,\u201d Resta added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army Public Health Center is monitoring all Army medical treatment facilities for more cases. The Army is the first service branch to report cases of the illness, the Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/u-s-army-is-treating-two-soldiers-for-vaping-related-lung-illness-11570624268\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citing patient privacy, the Army Public Health Center declined to discuss which bases the two soldiers with the illness were assigned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chanel S. Weaver, a spokeswoman for the center, said that an Army public health investigation is ongoing and coordinating with the CDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2019\/09\/24\/these-military-stores-are-pulling-vaping-products-from-the-shelves-in-the-wake-of-health-scare\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7LTS5VWPKRCCVPJC2EVUEZPJEA.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">These military stores are pulling vaping products from the shelves in the wake of health scare<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">E-cigs and vapes are being removed &#039;out of an abundance of caution&#039;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDC, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration and local health departments, have been investigating the multi-state outbreak of lung injury associated with the use of vaping products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Oct. 1, more than 1,000 lung injury cases associated with vaping products have been reported to the CDC from 48 states and one U.S. territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eighteen deaths have been confirmed in 15 states, according to an Oct. 3 advisory from the CDC. Most patients report a history of using THC-containing products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe latest national and regional findings suggest products containing THC play a role in the outbreak,\u201d the CDC advisory reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, no single product or substance has been linked to all lung injury cases, the CDC advisory states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe outbreak is occurring in the context of a dynamic marketplace for e-cigarette, or vaping, products, which may have a mix of ingredients, complex packaging and supply chains, and include potentially illicit substances,\u201d the advisory adds. &#8220;Users may not know what is in their e-cigarette or e-liquid solutions. Many of the products and substances can be modified by suppliers or users.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information is needed to know whether one or more vaping product or substance is responsible for the outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army Public Health Center issued a public health alert Sept. 10 warning soldiers and their families \u201cwho do not currently use tobacco products to avoid all e-cigarette and vaping products, particularly those sold off the street or modified to add any substances not intended by the manufacturer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two soldiers with vaping-related lung injuries have been identified, an illness the CDC says is commonly associated with vaping
