Doctors at a Detroit hospital have performed a double lung transplant on a man whose lungs were damaged from vaping.

DETROIT —

No other details of the transplant were released Monday by Henry Ford Health System, which has scheduled a news conference Tuesday. The patient has asked his medical team to share photographs and an update to warn others about vaping. More than 2,000 Americans who vape have gotten sick since March, many of them teenagers and young adults, and at least 40 people have died.

AxtoxthexO By vaping what? That's a very open ended statement. And that only hurts the public.

He gone smoke again

There has been NO Vitamin E acetate in any vaping liquid- only in ILLEGAL THC black market cartridges. Quit lying to the public and get your stories straight. His lungs were not damaged by vaping, they were damaged by illegal blackmarket tainted drugs. Fix your story NOW.

Might want to add THC carts to the end of that story. Bunch of fucking hacks

Smoking, it is a very expensive habit. I guess they know that for real now.

Well, now the man better stay away from the vaping, otherwise the doctors' wasted a perfectly good set of lungs on an idiot.

So this person who knowingly hurt their lungs got new lungs while someone who got cancer has to wait and hope they can find lungs?

How many cigarette smokes with Emphysema get transplants? Cigarettes are still 1000s times more deadly and dangerous than vaping. Sure, get vaping. But get tobacco first. That is, if you're serious and not just protecting the tobacco industry.

Hope he recovers, and I'm glad he's wanting to get the message out to vapers..NOT to do it. xo vaping
