Ban them all.....disposable or not! One of my sons friends was in a coma for two months and will have issues for life due to vaping (his parents had no idea that he was). The image of him on life support is the one they use on the anti smoking/vaping talks that they give in school.. The oily stuff thats used to carry the vapour had coated his lungs and reduced there ability to absorb oxygen....until he collapsed into a coma at school. They are just as dangerous as ciggies.....just in a different way.
He had this...
Vaping-Related Lipoid Pneumonia
Unlike the classic pneumonia caused by infection, lipoid pneumonia develops when fatty acids (the building blocks of fat) enter the lungs. Vaping-related lipoid pneumonia is the result of inhaling oily substances found in e-liquid, which sparks an inflammatory response in the lungs. Symptoms of lipoid pneumonia include:
- Chronic cough
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing up blood or blood-tinged mucus
“There’s isn’t a good treatment for lipoid pneumonia, other than supportive care, while the lungs heal on their own,” says Broderick. “The single-most important thing you can do is identify what is causing it — in this case vaping — and eliminate it.”
Never understood why people would want to breathe in poisons or oil into their lung voluntarily........and yes I've never smoked. Pier pressure seems to be the starting point in most cases and then addiction takes over. There are always load of empty disposable ones near the school even though the school claim to have a zero tolerance towards them......but having seen what happened to his mate hopefully my son wont be that stupid.
