Key Points:
- Cameron Vann, a 17-year-old from Kentucky, experienced two severe lung collapses (pneumothorax) linked to his vaping habit, requiring emergency surgeries including pleurodesis.
- Despite initial treatment, Cameron continued vaping secretly, leading to a second collapse that nearly cost him his life and left him with chronic pain and limited daily activities.
- Vaping, often viewed as a safer alternative to smoking, has been associated with serious health risks including lung damage, high blood pressure, stroke, and potentially cancer due to inhaled toxic chemicals.
- Cameron’s mother, Crystal Vann, is urging a nationwide ban on vape sales to prevent other young people from suffering similar health crises.
