Rokok elektronik atau vape diklaim lebih aman dan lebih tidak berbahaya karena lebih sedikit mengandung bahan kimia toksik dibandingkan rokok konvensional. Walaupun demikian, masih banyak pihak yang mempertanyakan keamanan rokok elektronik. Liquid dalam rokok elektronik dan aerosol yang dihasilkan terbukti mengandung sejumlah komponen kimia yang kemungkinan memiliki efek yang berbahaya terhadap kesehatan, terutama paru yang dapat menyebabkan vaping-associated pulmonary injury (VAPI). Berdasarkan laporan kasus sebelumnya, VAPI terbagi menjadi beberapa spektrum penyakit, diantaranya adalah pneumonia eosinofilik akut, organizing pneumonia, lipoid pneumonia, kerusakan alveolus difus, dan acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), perdarahan alveolar difus, pneumonitis hipersensitif, dan yang paling jarang yaitu giant-cell interstitial pneumonitis. Terdapat definisi kasus yang terbaru dalam menegakkan diagnosis VAPI, serta tatalaksana

Hamman-Rich syndrome, also known as acute interstitial pneumonia, is a rare and fulminant form of idiopathic interstitial lung disease. It should be considered as a cause of idiopathic acute respiratory distress syndrome. Confirmatory diagnosis requires demonstration of diffuse alveolar damage on lung histopathology. The main treatment is supportive care. It is not clear if glucocorticoid therapy is effective in acute interstitial pneumonia. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman without pre-existing lung disease who initially presented with mild upper respiratory tract infection and then progressed to rapid onset of hypoxic respiratory failure similar to acute respiratory distress syndrome with unknown etiology. Despite glucocorticoid therapy, she did not achieve remission and expired after 35 days of hospitalization. The diagnosis of acute interstitial pneumonia was supported by the histopathologic findings on her lung biopsy.
