A part of young people today is very interested in the trend of e-ci******es to show their class, partly because the scent of e-ci******es is quite attractive. A 19-year-old girl named Claire was also one of them when the habit of va**ng became a habit she did every day.
Before that, Claire had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius continuously for three weeks without any other symptoms. Her family assumed she had a cold. After a few weeks of medication, the condition did not improve, Claire decided to go to the hospital for a checkup.
On admission, doctors took a CT scan and the diagnosis revealed that this 19-year-old girl had severely damaged lungs, completely destroyed tissues, and severe inflammation of the bronchial tubes. The lungs of healthy people when CT scan will be black, while in Claire's, both lungs are milky white.
She had to be hospitalized for a long time, using intravenous drugs and steroids. Claire decided to share a CT scan of her lungs to urge teenagers to stop va**ng.
E-ci******es contain many toxins such as flavoring chemicals, metals and ni****ne, which are harmful to health. Many people often mistakenly believe that e-ci******es are not harmful because when smoked, they do not emit smoke or contain unpleasant odors like smoking conventional ci******es. However, the level of danger of this product is no less than that of ordinary ci******es.
In fact, according to information from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of early 2020, the country has recorded about 2,600 cases of pneumonia and 57 deaths related to e-ci******es. The same unit also conducted a survey of over 10,000 people and found that individuals who used e-ci******es were 56% more likely to have a heart attack. In addition, the risk of stroke in this group of people was also 30% higher than those who did not use it.
"No smoking"! That is the message for the health of the community and for the happiness of each person, each family.
