An Alabama man has become the 17th person to die in the nationwide vape-related epidemic, CNN reported Wednesday.

The man, identified only as an adult from the eastern side of the state, is the fourth to die this week alone — health officials in Virginia, Nebraska and New Jersey announced vaping deaths since Monday.

The Alabama case is the first in that state, the 14th to be hit with fatalities from the e-cigarette epidemic.

“While this current outbreak is being investigated, the safest option is to refrain from using any e-cigarette or vape product,” Alabama state health officer Scott Harris said in a statement.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week there were 805 confirmed cases of lung injury associated with vaping in the country.

Health officials said at least 64 of those are in New York.
