A new study shows further evidence of the harms of vaping.
Conducted by researchers from Portland State University and published in the journal of Chemical Research in Toxicology, the study claims that the process of heating up cannabinoid acetates creates a toxic gas called ketene that’s harmful to the lungs.
Researchers tested different cannabinoid acetates and tried to measure how much ketene was produced in a single vape puff.
They measured acetates like delta-8 THC, a compound that’s currently unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and that’s potent, crossing the blood-brain barrier more easily.
Researchers found that ketene is formed at lower settings of heat than anticipated and that each puff releases an amount of toxin that’s dangerous to people’s health. Ketene is supposedly so toxic to humans that it’s dangerous to even test it, thus, becoming difficult to measure its effect on the human
