One young woman is sending out an alert to the world after her horrifying experience with vaping that caused her left lung to collapse.
23-year-old Grace Brassel who is a university student that hails from the US mentioned how she was forced to report to the emergency twice as her left lung has collapsed. And according to doctors, these were the adverse effects she suffered from vaping.
“I had to undergo emergency surgery. People need to realize that this is all serious business and vaping is no joke at all. I had to live in the hospital for days, I could have died”- the student explains in her awareness message through social media.
On the second time she was admitted to the hospital, Grace revealed that she stayed for three whole days where a tube was inserted to drain her lung and it’s just as painful and daunting as it sounds, she adds.
“People need to understand that it was not the immediate cause but that is what assisted in my health worsening. Vaping could have killed me”- she adds in the distressing video that is now going viral on social media.
The student is seen begging all of her peers to please stop the habit before it was too late, adding how the pain was just horrific and she would never ever engage in the behavior that comes with the most serious consequences.
Doctors referred to her condition as a pneumothorax that took place suddenly without any prior symptoms and that is what makes conditions like these so much for dangerous, she revealed.
“They told me I had the sudden onset of a collapsed lung. And they said there was no known cause but it was likely due to vaping”- she continued.
The now-viral TikTok is being shared by thousands as the student says waking up to coughing blood but nothing less than a nightmare.
