Is your teen's cough linked to vaping? Parents and doctors urged to up their antennae

"Everybody needs to be on alert," Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital, said.

"When a child comes in with any respiratory complaints — particularly in the middle school or high school ages — we need to screen them for use of vaping products, and possibly triage them differently until we know what's going on," Swanson said. Teenagers with a history of vaping have complained of coughing and lungs that feel like they're burning when they try to inhale deeply. Symptoms may be particularly apparent in, who struggle to fill their lungs with enough air to keep up with demanding physical workouts.

"Have open conversations about this without judgment with your teens, and let them know that there are both long-term effects, and also that there have been children who have been put in the hospital on breathing support because they were using these devices," she said.

Something that we all gotta take note on

HYSTERICAL CLICK BAIT.Smdh. Y’all obvi have no teenshome bc that idiot headline begs parents freak out MORE abt their teen. “Everyone” needs to be on full alert any time their teen has *a COUGH* ? As if pearl clutching mamas need 1 more reason to micromanage their kids’lives

Truly rightly a must.

Or Marijuana?

If so, they are vaping more than the pods...

- “a doctor says”.. first of all, teens shouldn’t be vaping. ‘Parents need to be on alert’.

Stop sharing cartridges. Don't use refillable tanks. Don't buy from street vendors.

Solid source.

400,000 Americans die each year from smoking. Zero deaths per year from Nicotine Vape. Average smoker smokes for 50 years. Average vaper quits vaping after 3 years. Vaping isn’t combustable therefore shows significantly less ppm inhaled. Great for Adults looking to quit smoking.

I vape I have since 2012 I would never let anyone under 18 vape when I started it was flavoring in juice it only released water vapors I don't know what happened but all of a sudden it's bad? I'm 61 I used it to stop smoking and it worked I'd never give it up

Stupid people.

GTFO here. 158 people sick and 1 death when there are TENS OF MILLIONS if not hundreds of millions of people who Vape? Stop with the sensationalist bullshit. MORE people die from eating Oysters (100 deaths per year)... It’s NOT a runaway epidemic

Douch-fluting

lol

I don't have a teen yet, but when I do I'll respond with overwhelming force when he will ask for a vape pen.

Q&A: Vaping and lung disease: This doctor saw the link four years agoThe connection between vaping and lung disease was spotted in a 31-year-old patient in 2015. In this Q&A, Dr. John E. Parker describes what happened. Scientists saw the link between wireless tech/microwave radiation & cancer, heart tumors, neurological problems, DNA damage, opening the blood-brain barrier, & impaired fertility. But nobody gives a shit about that either. The public has traded their health for downloads and cigs These were from vaping black market THC products, not Nicotine containing E-Liquid. Maybe do some research before running a misleading headline. StopthePropaganda
