Ten Idahoans hospitalized with vaping-related illness

Health officials say no single substance has been associated with these cases.

BOISE, Idaho — The number of Idahoans hospitalized with vaping-related illnesses continues to rise.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare now says 10 people have been hospitalized with respiratory symptoms including cough, shortness of breath and chest pain.

No single substance has been associated with these cases.

Nationwide, 33 people have died and nearly 1,900 people have been hospitalized in connection with the outbreak.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those numbers could go up because of a lag in reporting.
