17-Year-Old Boy's Lungs Completely Blocked from Vaping, Doctors Say
Texas teen Tryston Zohfeld was fighting to stay alive when his seemingly healthy and athletic lungs suddenly failed on July 26.
“I woke up just throwing up everywhere, and my heart was beating out of my chest going 100 miles an hour,” Zohfeld told ABC affiliate WFAA.

His family rushed him to the Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, where doctors admitted him to the ICU and put him in a medically induced coma as his condition rapidly deteriorated. There he was hooked up to an oscillatory ventilator, which kept him alive for 10 days.

“The day they intubated him was the worst day of my life,” Matt Zohfeld, Tryston’s father, told the outlet. “We walked into this hospital very naive about what we were dealing with.”

Shultz said she believes the chemicals Tryston was inhaling from the vape pen caused his lungs to inflame to a point where they couldn’t exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide anymore. She added that his habit had done enough damage to scar his lungs, according to CBS.

I wish people would stick to chewing tobacco and nicotine patches. The air in my neighborhood is terrible in the evening from all the vapers and smokers in front of the bars.

It always baffled me that some people like to deliberately breathe in smoke or some "made in China" toxic death-fume aka vaping.

And then they are surprised that their lungs are getting fucked up.

I can't wrap my head around it.

maybe the pulmonology dept should expand its short list of things to scan for:

organic chemistry-- trace the source of the vape adulterants and verify if anything comes out in-regards to the boy's genetic makeup and the interaction with the chemicals~

he probably just had an allergic reaction to the common, benign chemicals in the vape like glycerin, etc.

How come everyone else doesn't have the same problem? Because they're not allergic. Simple shit, really.

I don’t know what to make of it. I vape more nicotine than what I consumed as a smoker, but when I play pick-up hockey or go hiking my lungs definitely feel better.

Certainly I should just quit... but easier said then done.

He should have had elevated histamine levels if that was the case. Not in every case but if he was in anaphylactic shock you'd think that would be mentioned.

Re: 17-Year-Old Boy's Lungs Completely Blocked from Vaping, Doctors Say
hubby got a weed oil vapor thingy and he just loves it.

i dont because it makes my lungs feel like they are literally swelling up.
that smoke seems to penetrate and cut into me much deeper than regular cigs... cigs smoke does not bother me at all like the vaper.
(we roll our own cigs with pure tobacco, no other chemicals and nonsense)

yeah i wont touch those vaping things.nope!
my lungs just cannot take it.
i KNEW people would have trouble with them if I did...
and i can hear his cough is even different when he smokes on that thing.

im very happy they have helped people quit smoking.
so its good AND bad.
