Since vaping has been around since 2006, we should have seen a whole lot of such cases, if it's likely.
Take a look at the timeline for cigarettes. The time between something causing harm and someone putting together the statistics to prove that it does is not that short. 2006 was like yesterday. Kids that started vaping as children in 2006 aren't even old enough for a midlife crisis yet.
They knew smoking was harmful for a long time before it became a major public health issue.
There should still have been lots of cases. Where are they?
