So to say it’s the parents fault and that they didn’t do their job isn’t fair. You can’t blame somebody for something they didn’t know!!

    There should be some kind of disciplinary action for the news team if not the exact product used. You all are saying pods, and pens, but. Hoeing sub ohm tanks of rta’s that are used for PG/VG, flavor concentrate, and nicotine. What this man used on slight occasion was vitaminE acetate and THC!! No different depending on the State you live in to be illegal and just as well he snorted sone narcotic up his nose. Same difference because the vape he was using was not sold or controlled nor legal by a licensed vendor, REGULATED BY OUR FDA. And on top, his old was he when using product to end in this situation he got in to. When first diagnosed I would like to see toxicology report or they obviously drew blood so what was in his system from a medical standpoint. Or better yet did these reporters even go that far to see if factual and not reporting on illegal activity.

    I’m 16 going on 17. Started vaping when I was younger because my father used to leave his around and I tried it when I was around 10-11. I barely ever did it but after I suffered through a major trauma of losing my house and everything I had to a fire when I was 12, then months later losing my father to suicide, it’s what I turned too. Ive been smoking weed and vaping since I was 13, tried it with some friends because at the time cause I could care less about anything as it felt my whole world was just collapsing. It’s been my escape for a long time which is hard to admit, but I found it helped me, I’ve always had a good job so money was never an issue, and my friends knew the best people to get it from. I have probably smoked around 20 ounces and many many bottles of juice around 50mg. I haven’t had any problems. I know the risks but unfortunately I’m addicted. Gives me a chance to mellow out and relax which is definitely not the best way and I understand. But now I just feel I’m on a decline and sometimes just feels I’m doing it cause I need it. But giving up that feeling is like taking away the protective wall I’ve built for myself over the years. That mindset of “I have somewhere to turn when I’m Sad, Bored or Mad or whatever” because it makes it all better, it’s a habit. And it’s really hard, and I want to ask for help to find better alternatives, but at the same time I don’t, that wall feels like the only thing protecting me.

    Most, if not, all the folks with lung damage from vaping smoked vaping devices that contained vitamin e acetate, an additive in some thc containing e-cigs. The vitamin e acetate were found in the lungs of people who developed lung damage from vaping. Vaping in general is not a good idea. If it does help a cigarette smoker to quit, and they then ultimately quit vaping, then I’d say that’s a success. And avoid thc containing ecigs if you feel that vaping may be the best way for you to quit cigarettes

Based off the info in the video, it seems like he was vaping on vape cartridges and he didn’t know because he never bought his own cartridges.

    I am currently waiting on a double lung transplant for myself I currently have end stage C O P D due to smoking and vape…I was diagnosed in 2014 with copd so I stopped smoking instantly but I continued to use cannabis to get myself a sleep but instead I was just doing more damage to my lungs…so it came to the support from my kids and wife that they gave me the ultimate gift and told me to stop the weed and stuff or lose everything so I decided that enough is enough and stopped that day…I have been clean 10years and now I must face the music of a double lung transplant.

      It's not going to be better I'm afraid. It seems like this think is from the thc cartiges who had inside vitamin e or something that could cause lungs injury. Try speaking with a doctor about it. This illness shouldn't be from flavour VG or PG.
      I think vaping MIGHT still be better thank smoking.
      My suggestion is to go for a 70/30 VG/Demineralised Water solution to avoid PG (they say Pg is fine but is still made from oil and you could experience intolerance to it) and avoid flavouring cause we don't know anything about those since there's not a precise law about stating exactly what's the composition of flavours.
      I think VG that's from vegetables (take pharmaceutical grade and say in the pharmacy that you're buying VG for vaping) and Demineralised Water (get that too at the pharmacy) with some nicotine (depending on how much you smoke) would be better than the chemicals in cigarettes.
      Avoid juul pods who can kill people because they have too much nicotine and try something around 6mg/ml of nicotine. You can either drop or increase this value depending on your needs.

I feel amazing, my lungs no longer hurt, everything taste better and I've been also vaping like crazy (much more than your average person who just started 6 months ago) and I've never had any issues, or side-effects. If you buy your dodgy vape products from a non-legitimate store than you are bound to run into serious issues and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but blaming the entire community/culture of vapers is ridiculous in my opinion. It has saved my life, just don't be an idiot and if you are not 18/21 (depending where you live in the world) than just ask someone who is...

    I noticed after exercise i feel 10 times worse than when i was a heavy smoker. Example, say i just do a fast walk for a mile or two, i dont get out of breath at all untill i sit down for about 10 minutes. Then it is like i cant get a deep enough breath to cough.. something not right here. Never experienced anything like this while i was a heavy smoker for 38 years.

I was a pack a day smoker for about 9 years. finally quit cold turkey after idk hundreds of attempts?! I have been off cigs since end of 2016. 2018, a buddy let me rip the hell out of his Juul at killington resort. Idk why I did but.... it started my (2) 5% pods a day problem, (3) 4 packs a week... every other day. that would be a $240 a month habit (car payment).
    I am still holding a juul in my hand as I type this. I have been feeling some scary pains around or behind my rib cages. it goes away but comes back. I am very active and in great shape otherwise. I attributed the pain to be muscle related due to having a very strenuous job. I can take deep breaths and not feel sharp pain. but sometimes when I hit the juul, the pain is there. I rarely buy marijuana flower anymore, I take massive dabs of some good live resin, maybe some other concentrates with like 14% terpenes which gives it a nice smell and great flavor. I have thought about lung damage a lot lately which brings me to this vid. this is some scary ish.

      With all due respect you probably just messed your lungs up smoking weed and tobacco, it’s not too late though with vaping I’ve been doing it 7 years now still going strong I don’t cough I’m not struggling from vaping at all.
      As for your ribcage problem.... hello global pandemic I got hit with covid in September last year couldn’t breathe properly for 3 months but if vaping really messed me up I wouldn’t have survived.
      Vaping is safe it’s Vitamin E acetate and THC in liquids that causes the problem they just want them banned so people end up spending way more on tobacco.

      I hope you're doing okay.
      You should seek medical attention right now and get a radiography (I hope that's how it's called) to your lungs.
      Juul pods are indeed very dangerous due to nicotine though. 5% means that a ml of e juice has 60mg of nicotine in it. A lethal dose for an adult is between 30-60mg so If you vape a ml of that fast enough you'll die or end up in coma for nicotine poisoning. A juul pod contains 0.7 ml so the nicotine in the pod is around 40 mg.
      Inhaling a lot of nicotine can give you a tight chest, tachicardia, nausea and more (Just search nicotine poisoning and see if you got those symptoms when you vape).
      You could try avoiding PG and flavouring by going with VG and Demineralised Water without flavor and a nicotine quantity of 6 mg/ml, then eventually drop it or increase it depending on your situation. Find a vape shop with people with knowledge and get help from them to eventually prepare the mixture.
      You can buy VG and Demineralised Water in the pharmacy. VG must be of pharmaceutical grade. Be sure you're getting VG good for vaping by asking in the pharmacy.
      In my country more than 20mg/ml is illegal and you could still end up in a hospital for chain vaping a 18mg/ml pod.

    Nah, you can just see it on his face and the way he said “yea like only once or twice a day” kid definitely still saving face and probably battled addiction on his own and had a guy he would buy fake disposables from and would smoke them heavy. I know a liar when I see one.

      @@jneta9712 except his iq is of a rat. He blames a thc cart problem on vaping and is grouping them like they're both really dangerous and are trying to "help people realize vaping is dangerous" when he has no idea what he is saying. He tried to lie to his mom until the hospital, he knew what he did was wrong. This in itself is obviously a reason he wouldnt make it, he isn't smart, and he wasnt even that "ripped" to begin with.

Professionally licensed vaping products such as juul as well as black market “thc” products are all categorized by the media under the same vague blanket of “vaping products” in this video as well as many other cases the person sick has been using thc vapes. You will never hear a case where the person says they only used a certain brand of nicotine vape.

    I suppose kids don't think. But surely everyone would understand how dangerous vaping and smoking is? That's basic knowledge. You wouldn't expect a lung transplant but you would surely think other serious illnesses could result.
