In 2019 there was an outbreak of a respiratory condition called EVALI and commonly referred to as 'vape lung.'

Reported cases sharply dropped off in 2020, despite an increase in vape sales.

I just think it's interesting, is all.

Wasn't that traced back to bad thc carts?

Vitamin E and MCT oil are the most heavily cited causes and you can still get cartridges made with both.

I suspect the dumbfounded reply you received was because one expected the word 'epidemic' to be used instead.

'pandemic' usually is taken to mean it has spread across several international boundaries. 'pan,' meaning 'all.'
