A VAPING addict claims she contracted pneumonia from her e-cigarette - leaving her constantly hooked to an oxygen tank.
Doctors diagnosed the 25-year-old with lipoid pneumonia when they discovered vegetable glycerine, a common ingredient in vape juice, had caked her lungs.Despite having never smoked a cigarette before, Aubree, of Ogden, Utah, now needs an oxygen tank when she sleeps and runs errands."I knew nicotine was addictive but vapes seemed so safe.”Her story comes as US health authorities launched an investigation into an epidemic of mysterious lung illnesses linked to e-cigarette use.
Most of those stricken were teenagers or young adults - with some in intensive care and on ventilators. She spent around $100 a month on her vaping habit and enjoyed the fruity flavours - as opposed to harsh tobacco.“I knew that they were bad for you and that they were very addictive so I thought, ‘I’m not even going to start’."
