Lung Disease called "EVALI" Developed from Using E-cig
Arnaldo Machado, 47, warns against the legalization of e-cigarettes, claiming it caused him seven months of hospitalization.

According to a report by Revista Forum, a 47-year-old man named Arnaldo Machado was hospitalized and forced to undergo treatment for seven months due to lung issues caused by the use of an e-cigarette. He now warns about the dangers of this device and opposes the ongoing debate in France seeking its legalization.

 

Machado developed a lung disease called "EVALI" after using an e-cigarette device. This disease was first described in the United States in 2019 and is associated with the use of e-cigarette devices.

 

His lungs have developed a fatty wall, similar to how fat in the lungs obstructs his breathing. He opposes the legalization of the product and calls on authorities to completely ban it. The aerosol produced by this device, known as e-liquid, may contain various harmful substances such as nicotine, heavy metals, and flavorings, which users may inhale.

 

Furthermore, the use of e-cigarettes may lead to nicotine dependence, increase the risk of adolescents initiating smoking, and potentially cause damage to the oral mucosa, resulting in throat and eye pain, rhinitis, pneumonia, and other diseases.

While the commission previously found some of PAX's patents valid and infringed, it ruled that PAX had not demonstrated sufficient U.S. economic investment to establish a domestic industry, and therefore did not find a violation.
