"Vaping" is a rapidly growing habit seen worldwide, especially amongst the younger population. Several aspects of vaping have made it more appealing than cigarettes and have lead to the conversion of many smokers. Appeal resides in the belief that it is a healthier alternative to cigarettes. It also has the ability to interchange flavors and type of oil used. The focus of advertisement for vaporized products is its use as a smoking cessation aid. Systematic reviews have failed to display evidence of harmful processes other than exposure to nicotine (Bullen et al., 2013; Burstyn, 2013) [1,2]. We report a clinical case of a woman who suffered diffuse alveolar hemorrhage correlated with e-cigarette usage due to history and negative findings of extensive rheumatologic and infectious disease workup. Her presentation, clinical course, and effective therapy are outlined here.
