She had asthma and wasnt using her inhaler. Kids shouldn’t be vaping, but there was more going on here.

Man, this destroys my argument that all 12 year olds should vape. Boy do I feel silly.

“Sarah’s asthma and the fact she was not good at using her preventative inhaler left her at risk of complications.”

Ahh, there’s the problem

Yeah fuck allowing children to vape but this is clearly a case of poor compliance asthma management and shit parents. Obviously some larger governmental intervention will help but the story is garbage.

Note: you can potentially ignore everything I said because I only read two paragraphs of the article and just looked at the photos of the shitty mom and kid

This is awful and I’m very sorry for the kid but with the greatest respect who gives a fuck what this 12 year old thinks

Y’all really like your vapes, huh? Jesus fucking Christ with so many of these comments… I smoke, too, but I don’t defend tobacco.

What a clickbaity bs article.

Media talking about vapes is like: “Olympic athlete who vapes died of a hole in the lung from which he bled out of, raising awareness to the practice of vaping in society.”

Article: “The Olympic athlete was shot during a home robbery. It’s totally unrelated LOL.”

I vape, it’s how I quit smoking. I’d prefer to smoke, but it is the lesser of two evils, and I would encourage anyone who smokes cigarettes to switch. I recently went on holiday, smashed my vape and couldn’t find a replacement. I ended up buying the disposable kind from a supermarket for the first time and I was honestly shocked at how wasteful the are - so much unnecessary plastic that goes straight into the bin. But I was more shocked by how clearly geared towards children the disposable kind are - the bright colours, the flashy lights, the super sweet flavours, the high nicotine content. The one I bought was called YOLO ffs.

The proposals include:

• restricting the flavours and descriptions of vapes so they are no longer targeted at children
• keeping vapes out of sight of children in shops
• regulating vape packaging so they are not targeted at children
• exploring whether increasing the price of vapes will reduce the number of young people using them
• considering restricting the sale of disposable vapes, which ministers say are clearly linked to the rise in vaping in children and are incredibly harmful to the environment.

So not really very much, it’s hardly worth storming the Bastille over.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A 12-year-old girl who suffered a lung collapse and spent four days in an induced coma has told the BBC that children should never start vaping.

Sarah Griffin’s bedroom at her home in Belfast is like that of most 12-year-old girls - a dressing table littered with make-up, perfume bottles and hair straighteners, with some childhood cuddly toys on the bed.

In early September she also developed a head cold, and when combined with her vaping, it all added up to what Sarah’s doctor describes as a “perfect storm”.

“A lot of risk factors were going in the wrong direction,” says Dr Dara O’Donoghue, consultant respiratory paediatrician at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.

“Disposable vapes at their current pocket money prices, with cartoons and bubble-gum flavour options, are far too attractive and easy for children to access,” she said.

Professor Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, said marketing vapes or e-cigarettes to children was “utterly unacceptable”.

How about not buying cheap Chinese shit online if it’s something you put in your body. I have been vaping for over 12 years and not once have I ever had any complications. Fuck your propaganda.
