Teen boy nearly died after vaping triggered ‘catastrophic’ lung damage – in just 5 months

A TEENAGE boy nearly died after vaping left him with "catastrophic" lung problems, doctors have warned.3Credit: PA:Press Association

Blood tests revealed the trigger was likely to have been an immune response to a chemical found in his vaping liquids. He added: “I was vaping for about four or five months before I got ill. I'd say I was vaping about a normal amount - maybe 10 to 15 times a day. In Britain, 3.6 million people vape and youth use remains low. If this was a common problem or a significant risk we would expect many more cases“And to all the teenagers that vape and think it's something good, it's really not.“I would say my health is back to 80 per cent but I still suffer from anxiety about it all.
