Vitamin E acetate acts as a biological antioxidant that inhibits peroxides from accumulating and protects cells. It contributes to the stability and integrity of biological membranes, including lysosomal membranes. It thus prevents inflammatory processes, histamine liberation from the granules of most cells, and serotonin liberation from tissue cells. Flannigan et al. suggests vitamin E acetate for protection against occupational exposure in the field.36

The recent e-cigarette, or vaping, product use–associated lung injury (EVALI) crisis led to hospitalization and death in US youth and young adults (Blount et al. 2020; US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) 2019). Most EVALI cases were apparently linked to the vaping of e-liquids that contained vitamin E acetate (VEA) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (Blount et al. 2020). At the same time, not all vapers who inhaled VEA- or THC-containing aerosol have developed EVALI symptoms; therefore other factors, such as an individual’s health status, differences in puffing behaviors, or types of vaping devices, may be important.
