I started smoking vapes back in 2019 when a friend of mine introduced me to Juul. I was instantly hooked and loved the flavours. I got so hooked that I used to smoke an average of ~5k puff vape every three days. The nicotine and juicy flavours was what made it too addictive and I always felt that it was much healthier than a cigarette.
Last week, I fainted while climbing stairs and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was thereafter rushed to the hospital by my roommates.
Scans showed several lesions inside my lungs from the harmful chemicals inside. Initial diagnosis was popcorn lungs, and prognosis does not look promising. With no shot at full recovery, the treatment is going to be symptomatic only.
Fucked my life and threw away the best years of my life. My parents are extremely disappointed in me and I feel like a dead man already.
Don't SMOKE and Don't VAPE.
Here's hoping you live a long fruitful life. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Smoking cigarettes was getting outdated in the west so they came up with vapes to entice the youth! In India, nowadays, smoking is seen as being "cool" and "powerful" (re: every "powerful" female character in Indian movies and TV shows smokes. Cigarettes are the ultimate FU, apparently).
I would argue vapes and e - cigarettes are even more harmful than the conventional cigarettes simply because while we KNOW and have researched enough about the latter, we simply do not know enough about the former! One of my favourite youtubers even did a deep dive into it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAD3tHU6Gss&t=1176s&pp=ygUWaG93IHRvIGNvb2sgdGhhdCB2YXBlcw%3D%3D
Hey mate. Thanks for sharing this. More people need to realise that smoking, ciggs, vapes or even weed in the long term is extremely hazardous. I hope you make a full recovery. Really. My best wishes.
Nice try dad
5K puffs in 3 days? You were dead on arrival mate. Key is to have a balance in everything.
