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?! I was in hospital nearly two years ago with a collapsed lung, that's when I was warned to stop smoking which I have, 2 years this Dec 7 since I stopped and I am better off health wise and money wise, if smoking can cause a collapsed lung then I can imagine vaping can too, below is a chart our son installed on my mobile giving me day to day progress I have made since I stopped smoking.

Congratulations on stopping smoking. I’ve never smoked but my mother did and she ended up dying in 2012 from COPD because of smoking. She was only 64. I know for years she struggled with quitting. She finally did Good Friday of 1998.

Sorry, to hear this. Prayers and thoughts go out to your family. Thank you! 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* They're hoping to take the chest tube out tomorrow. It was supposed to be today, but he's not strong enough yet. How old is he if you dont mind me asking? Just graduated high school. I hope he gets better soon wildmaven, I had the tubes inserted too but the lung was not functioning after a week so I had to go into surgery and have an operation to seal the hole in the lung which was a blister that burst, I was in hospital for two weeks all told and it was a big worry for all the family at the time.

Thank you Nabeela, I have COPD too with asthma, sciatica and a heart failure condition which I am on 8 types of tablets a day but I am a battler and still ticking along at 70 years old.

You’re welcome. My mother had heart failure as well. She also had oxygen 24/7 and breathing treatments as well. I recall her telling my dad she couldn’t breathe the year she passed away. Dad too her to the ER and about a little over a month later she passed away in the hospital. Congratulations on ticking along at age 70.

So sorry! I'm glad to read the tube has been removed. It'll take him some time to fully recover but I'm wishing him, and all his family and friends, the best.

Awful news and I hope for a speedy recovery.
Terrible that something some are encouraged to use instead of cigarettes and even taken up by those that dont normally smoke, is now doing so much harm.

Sorry he is ill, praying for recovering for him.
Kinda hate how glamorised vaping has become now, it should just been a way to quit cigarettes but I see special shops and stalls everywhere selling them like its harmless

So far it's been nothing but news source after news source blasting people over it while you hear none of them say let's ban cigarettes or what these kids are getting sick from. All you see is vaping without factoring in that theres thousands of different devices out there as well as thousands of different liquids. Why arent we saying ban cigarettes also?

Fancy shops and stalls showing very photoshopped people vaping while the vapes are displayed under bright lights and colours with stylised text advertising the brands and flavours. Some literally seemed to pop up overnight in my area which makes me wonder how vetted the product is or how you can really know what you are inhaling. Maybe its different in the US but in the UK many attempts have been made to slow the sell of cigarettes. For years warning labels were on the packets, then extremely graphic imagery of what smoking does to your body, then number of years ago shops are not allowed to even display the packets, they have to be behind a door and asked for.

Well vaping is legal in the UK if you dont count the 2ml per liquid devices by regulations. As of 2018 every vape product has been put I to law that they must include a warning message stating that products contain nicotine even when they do not. Yet somehow parents are finding out that kids are getting hold of them, buying laced liquids with vitamin E and such in them off the random street. Those that have been doing it for a long time know well enough to not purchase liquids that arent lab tested and many are.

This is why I don't believe people when they try to justify vaping. It's new so they assume it's safe because science hasn't proving otherwise(might change if cases like this keep happening). Everyone forgets it took almost decades for people to realize smoking was bad....do we really want to wait 20 years to find out the same for vapes and their counter parts?
Seems like common sense to me. Inhaling strange substances probably isn't good for your lungs.
Hope your cousin's son recovers.
