Michigan is banning the sale of all marijuana vaping products.  The state wants it off the shelves until it can further test for the presence of Vitamin-E Acetate and its impact on lungs.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes it maybe linked to 47 deaths and more than  2,000 illnesses nationwide.  Numbers that are expected to grow.  Dr. Sanjay Dogra works with lung patients and is researching and helping patients affected by vaping. He says there is still so much to learn about vaping and its impact on lungs.
