The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) issued an urgent alert on Friday telling Americans to stop vaping immediately.

There have been approximately 450 cases of a mysterious lung disease reported in 33 states, with at least five deaths and it’s all being attributed to vaping.

No one’s quite sure what’s causing the outbreak, but the CDC thinks there might be some chemical that’s doing it, possibly the vitamin E in a lot of the oils.

Until they figure out what it is, the CDC says, “People should consider not using e-cigarette products.”

There’s a 73-year-old woman in southern India who gave birth to twin girls on Thursday.

And once her age is certified, it should make her the oldest woman ever to give birth. The current Guinness world record is a woman in Spain who gave birth when she was almost 67 years old. That happened back in 2006.

The woman and her 80-year-old husband have always wanted kids but have never been able to conceive. They wanted to do IVF, and a round eight months ago finally worked. The couple used a donor egg, and sperm from the husband.

She was in the hospital for the entire pregnancy, but when it was time to give birth last week, the twins were delivered with a C-section, and they were totally healthy.

Mom is doing well, but the doctors will monitor her closely for a few weeks.
