My cousin's son is in ICU from vaping with a collapsed lung. A chest tube had to be inserted. It's one thing to hear about cases on the news, but when it hits this close to home it's very frightening. What are we doing to our youth?!

This is very sad news. I read an article just this past week that vaping is causing more and more deaths in people. I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for your cousin's son.
*hugs*

How old is he if you dont mind me asking? Just graduated high school.

How old is he if you dont mind me asking? Just graduated high school. View Attachmentso I'm assuming 18? If so most states by law are 21 and older for any sort of smoking. I am wishing him a good recovery but at the same time we can not just point blame at one particular product as the parents are at fault too. I've been a user of electronic cigarettes for the past 4 years and never had any major issues with them. Of course I'd like to add a PSA from the vaping community. Although we do believe electronic cigarettes are a better alternative than smoking we do not believe its healthier than smoking. I also see my doctor every 6 months or so and every time he says I'm in great health. Like I say I do wish your cousin a healthy recovery. I'd like to know exactly what he was using. As some people are lacing liquids with other substances.

You’re welcome.
I know here in Michigan where I was born and raised the age for smoking (buying) has always been the age of 18 years old as long as I recall and I’m 42 years old. I know this basically everyone I know smokes or used to smoke. Also, I used to be a cashier and you had a date to sell smoking stuff and a different date to sell alcohol. Even though they want to raise it to the age of 21.

So sorry to hear this. Did he order online by chance? This is a recent thing and some of this is even medical marijuana vape pens, it's like an ecoli outbreak or something. I do it (nicotine) so been keeping an eye on this

Sorry to hear this, I really hope he recovers. I remember telling my wife a few years ago that vaping, the e-cigs, Juul, all of that was going to end up being as bad as just smoking or worse. They test these things to the minimum of government standards before they push them out, then tout them as the alternative to smoking cigarettes, so everyone jumps on it because they think they're the healthier option. Who knows what's actually in them? And now we're seeing the fallout from it. All because of money driven companies who don't care who they hurt or unfortunately, kill. I smoked cigarettes for a long time and quit cold turkey about 2 years ago. I thought about vaping but never did it, thank God. I hope he's ok wildmaven .

I'm so sorry - I hope he has no further issues once he is better.
It looks like if people are going to smoke maybe real cigs without additives is the way to go.
Again my thoughts are with you and your cousin's son.

I know here in Michigan the govener the other day banned the selling of all e-cigarettes because of what has been happening with them.

The tube is removed, they gave him some good pain meds, waiting on a follow up xray in a few hours.

Hope and praying that he recovers. Again, sorry this happened to him and sorry for some of the negative posts that people have posted about this as well.
