Utah vaping related illnesses on the rise

The number of vaping-related lung illnesses in Utah is now at 114.

State health officials confirm they're investigating 13 new cases, with the majority connected to THC cartridges.

The health department says nearly 90-percent of patients reported vaping THC by itself or with nicotine.

Across the country, there have been close to 13-hundred vaping illnesses and at least 26 deaths.

The Centers for Disease Control says the culprit may be vitamin E acetate, which is often used as a cutting agent.
