Vaping related disorder

Definition

Disorder resulting from inhaling a vaporized solution (aerosol) which frequently contains flavourants, usually dissolved into Propylene Glycol or Glycerin, or both, and may or may not contain doses of nicotine, and other substances and additives with the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) or electronic non-nicotine delivery systems (ENNDS). In the affected individual, infections as cause of the damage are unlikely or should have been excluded. Relevant findings include proof of presence of pulmonary infiltrate, such as opacities, on plain film chest radiograph or ground-glass opacities on chest CT.
