Wanting to fit in with his group of friends, Jayden Richardson, now 17, started vaping at the age of just 12. His vaping was excessive, as he\u2019s been consuming the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day.<\/p>\n

Once they returned home, Jayden was immediately rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Considering the symptoms, doctors assumed he was suffering from a stomach ulcer, his mother, Elita, said.<\/p>\n

She believed the her son developed the condition due to his eating habits, particularly the greasy food and the kebabs he had every day while on holiday. But she couldn\u2019t be more wrong.<\/p>\n

After undergoing endoscopy, doctors determined the blood he was coughing was a result of severe lung damage due to his habit of vaping.<\/h2>\n

Doctors advised him to never use e-cigarettes again, and Jayden was more than determined to break the bad habit. But the promise he had given to himself was only kept until his birthday in January when he reached to the vape yet again.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this was a very \u201cstupid\u201d thing to do as the symptoms returned.<\/p>\n

At the time being, Jayden is awaiting a CT scan. He hopes that the ban of disposable vapes in June 2025 would add to his efforts to never vape again.<\/p>\n

Jayden shared his story, saying<\/a>, \u201cI was terrified. I never thought vaping could cause all this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started off in Turkey. The night before I had a bit of chest pain but didn\u2019t really think much of it whatsoever. I woke up the next morning, had a quick go on my vape and just as if I had a bit of a chesty cough.<\/p>\n

Jayden added: \u201cI went to cough a few times and it felt a bit phlegmy so I went to spit it out. I saw that it was blood and this put me in shock. I didn\u2019t know what to do myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

He alerted his mom, who was having breakfast at the time, but once she got to him, it wasn\u2019t really bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
