“I smoked fake carts and almost died now I am a pawn for big tobacco companies”

Just legalize pot we got ppl dying over here from fake carts smh

There is no way that someone with access to social media and Google didn’t know that it was bad for her. It’s called denial. She knew it was bad for her otherwise she wouldn’t have hid it from her mom.

0:34 “I asked for a pen and paper because that was the only way I could communicate” So then how did she ask for the pen and paper?? 🤔

SHE DOSENT WANT TO ADMIT SHE WAS SMOKING WEED CARTS *Fake weed carts

Why doesn’t she just say she was vaping fake carts...

After quiting cigarettes (smoked 3 years) ....I started vaping menthol puffs with 5% of nicotine and after 6 months of vaping I started feeling weird light painful discomfort in the lower throat and some impulsive pain on the side of the throat, numbness...so I quit as of yesterday and subconsciously made decision never ever to get back vaping again...I don't want to develop serious disease or any other serious illness and damaging consequences of vaping....not worth it....yet I felt so tired and not energetic after few puffs it's gives you buzz for 5 seconds but after that you feel like shi** and panic attacks are terrible...So I have nothing to loose to give up this bad habit...it's evil and you become slave attached every hour to that little stick which is controls your life, mind, body and soul because it's all together attached...Quit don't wait until it's too late!!!

This girl is just like me as a kid, I have a very addictive personality and I've struggled with drug addiction throughout my life and that's all this is.

Cigarettes: *kills 400,000 people a year* Everyone: 😴 “Vaping”: *kills 6 people* Everyone: 😳

This girl smoking hot dog water carts but blaming it on vaping gtfo

I never smoked anything...and I am proud of myself for that

A cartridge a day is not normal at all that’s wild 😭

Sounds like she didn’t want mommy to know she was a little pot head and blamed it on vaping nicotine.

This girl lied about her age to buy illegal drugs, lied to her parents about smoking weed, lied to doctors about what she Vaped...I see a clear problem here

I did this with nicotine, once I realized it was getting hard to breathe and bloody spit, I quit it and now I can breathe. The vaping stuff just makes it too easy to hit every five seconds especially when life is stressful, eventually you get to a point you no longer feel a buzz

With someone who has nemaline myopathy, it plays a big part in my lungs. I started using these, within those three months. I told myself to quit, it was hard, sickness for about a week. Thought I was loosing my mind. One month later, I felt myself, somewhat happy and could sort of breath again. Never do j have that ambition to hit it again just to act cool like everyone else

Who else vaping nicotine based product while watching cuz we know the problem is fake weed carts not vapes

It’s not the Juul, it’s the fake THC cartridges.

This story was getting increasingly more & more unbelievable the more these people talked. The average human is bankrupt of accountability. Parents being the most of these & that is the most frightening thing I can imagine because they are literally rearing our future.

Parents are to blame, pure and simple. Most people who have children aren't fit to be patents these days.

Reeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy sounds like she’s smoking fake dab pen carts

"I started drinking cheap counterfeit vodka at 16 and now i'm blind and got cirrhosis. Now i'mma gonna sue Absolut"

I used to vape and i realized i couldn't breathe well when I was running long distances. I stopped ... and literally ran miles without stopping about two weeks later. It was the VAPE

I went to the hospital for EVALI, which is basically an acute lung injury that made it extremely hard to breathe and made me keep vomiting. I was vaping both nicotine and THC carts HEAVILY in addition to cigarettes joints blunts etc. every day at 17 years. The lung failure from just the nicotine vape doesn’t seem to be the whole story. In my experience the most detrimental to my health was the marijuana cartridges they are HEAVY and probably what caused this girl to get hospitalized- not just “juuling ”

Girl: I want to start a no vaping campaign The truth: I smoked fake carts so now I want to blame vaping to make money for big tobacco

Shouldn’t be smoking fake carts it wasn’t just the juul

I was vaping for 6 years and one day I was vaping, all of a sudden my heart rate shot up my lungs started to ache at the same time now I have quit for a week and getting back to normal again slowly.

The worst part is how she smiles like she’s proud of this knowing she brought this upon herself and her family , at some point you have to hold yourself accountable for your actions , she had to of known vaping everyday the amount she did was going to end badly and was the reason for her health problems

Vaping is too dangerous, I'm gonna switch to cigarettes

She was vaping carts cut with vitamin e but they want to act like its nicotine (Edit) - it’s been found that vitamin e is not the culprit but it’s likely the solder in the carts that melts when heated and releases toxic funes

Them: Vaping is so bad for you, the lungs can't handle vapors like that. Also Them: oh you're having trouble breathing due and have a wet cough? Here do this lung treatment. There was a real opportunity here, and ABC made sure to drop the ball by not distinguishing which vape cartridge actually caused the girl's sickness. juul has pods, every high schooler knows that.

"I'm an idiot and thus you shouldn't be able to vape either". One time a guy fell off a ladder somewhere but we still are allowed to use ladders.

I love how she slipped in the fact that she was also vaping weed at the end...

6 deaths due to vaping 480,000 deaths due to smoking , per year .....hmmmm

It's been a few days since I quit vaping, and my lungs are still hurting -- but not nearly as bad as they were when I was vaping daily. I just hope I didn't do too much damage to them and I can finally sleep at night without my chest feeling like someone is jabbing me with a sword all night.

I recently quit vaping after doing it for 4 years. If you have asthma and are sensitive to allergies, it def drys out your throat and irritates your lungs. I would never defend vaping as harmless thing. It’s more of a source of shame, waste of money, and generally just a stupid crutch. Vaping vs smoking being it thc or nicotine, is definitely a safer alternative. The problem is that it’s harder to quit for that reason. You can do it a lot of places that you could never smoke in, it tastes and smells better, and it is way less irritating to my lungs. The problem is that it’s hard to quit because it’s harder to keep track of how much you actually vape. So a pack a day smoke could reduce their cigarettes but a couple every day….a vaper really has no idea. Plus it’s just embarrassing because it looks douchey. There are lots of reasons to quit that don’t involve lying to consumers. People who do it and buy from legit sources already know from experience what the rest of you don’t- there is really no harsh, smoke like aspect to it. Quit because you know your kids are watching. Quit because it’s a waste of money and a source of embarrassment. Quit because you want to be able to use both of your hands and not just the one that’s not holding your vape.

It's the blackmarket THC oils she didn't tell the doctors that made her sick

She was vaping thc oil be honest with ur family it had nothing to do with the nicotine vape.

It’s not a health crisis, people can just have allergic reactions to some things that are in e cigarettes. I’ve been vaping since 2013 and I feel no different to this very day, nor have I ever had any issues from vaping.

I never really viewed it as a problem until I started to recognize my own behavior. I started becoming surprised at how quickly I was burning through a pod, I would always blame it on the manufacturer or whatever that there wasn't enough liquid in the vapes.

Funny how there are no 40 year olds who have vaped for 5 years getting lung illness.

She did it to herself so why she acting like a victim

Vaping has been so normalized is crazy. Literally all young people vape. Smoking is the worst thing you can do for your life

as someone who smokes sometimes daily but mainly ocasionally i truly belive that it can be an addiction but only if you have no control over your mind

She’s lying she was smoking boof packs off the street

She wants to start a no vaping campaign? No mention of the black market Products she was vaping? This is crazy

Come on, who is really shocked that a corporation in America seemingly ignores the risk to children in favor of money

I started smoking cigarettes in 2012, I gave up in 2022. I am now off cigarettes 1 year and 2 months now. Unfortunately I gave up by vaping.. I’ve gotten to the point where vaping has literally scared me to death and watching videos like this has actually made me realise that I made a bad decision. I quit a bad habit for another bad habit. Yes vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it’s still not safe. I have been vape free 3 days now.. still early days but I’m determined.

She be smoking those 15-20$ carts 🤦🏽‍♂️

So much misinformation, yall should he ashamed. Its all twisted up

As a long time cigarette smoker, since 2002, I started vaping to quit cigs, for the 6th time. But this time I felt like I was really able to kick the cigs cause I now have these alternatives. I definitely don't smoke a vape a day. I try to stretch it for about a week. I also try to leave it at home and not bring it everywhere I go. I do have very young co workers. For reference im 32 and some of them are ranges 15-22. All of them vape and they go through so many of them a week. I honestly don't know where someone gets the time to hit theirs every 10 minutes every single day. But then again they made these so cigarette smokers will have an easier time quitting. Thus far has helped me. Next is to kick these pens and then I'll be at 100% health. Staying active still and eat healthy. Until then, I'll enjoy my alternative.

My very good friends nephew who was 16 died in his sleep from vaping. Autopsy discovered the lung tubules all collapsed from this dangerous habit.

Add "THC" cartridge in the title omg its not just regular ejuice millions have used to quit smoking. Stop blaming the whole industry over this!

“A man was arrested for making thousands of illegal THC vaping cartridges” .. well there you have it.

I'm heavily addicted to vaping. I'm 21. I never thought I'd smoke or drink or vape or anything like that but I did. I guess the stress of life just got to me, but I regret it because now I'm addicted to nicotine. I even had a seizure at work which was definitely at least partially caused by the vape, but I'm so addicted I still do it. I don't defend the industry at all and it saddens me too that other people are defending it. Vaping sucks. I hope to quit it but it's EASILY one of the hardest things I've ever done.

What’s with American vape juice? In uk it’s highly regulated. Rarely seen any accidents here

“I don’t wanna tell my parents that I was vaping illicit thc cartridges, so I’m gonna blame it on vaping”

If it were actually vapes doing this about 90% of high school students would already be dead

there’s a difference between nic and carts and where you buy them because people can also add chemicals into them which makes it deadly

Omg not ten deaths in the entire world!!! Wow!!! Let’s do something about this

The failure to make the distinction between nicotine pods and thc cartridges is a huge loss for the media during this epidemic.

the mom said candy rappers amd mascara wands. sounds like fake dab pen carts to me 👀

The failure is also on the parents part for not paying attention to the changes in their. As someone who works with kids and teaches health the failure is on both ends.

There is no doubt that our body was not designed for vaping or smoking or putting bad stuff in your lungs wasn't designed that way and people can say well I can do what I want but there are consequences for everything

How did a 15 year old get the money for THAT many juul pods a day.

8 years of vaping not one problem.... Tell the truth ..know what you are putting in your body

"You don't need it... it's gonna kill you" as she laughs... Okay girl.

“She smoked that vape” “She drank that food”

The fact that they have pink packages pisses dear old mom off. The fact that as a parent you had no idea what your daughter was doing, pisses me off.

Mfers have been vaping for years and no issues. These people get a hold of a bad cart and blame it on juul 😩

When this came on the news a couple of years ago everyone in the smoke shack at my job were advising me to put down the vape and get help, some even telling me to pick the cigs back up. All while power smoking 5 cigs. I just laughed at them. Now it’s been 2 years and I barely even touch my vape. I might toot it a few times when I have a drink but I don’t even take it out of the house much, but still enjoy it. My coworkers are still power smoking the cigs.

we all knew what rlly went down from readin the title 🤣🤣

She was buying thc carts she’s lying to everyone

50 pounds damn I’m finna start romping 2 carts a day

Not making the clear distinction between nicotine pods and THC cartridges is like saying she died because of drinking but not saying it was battery acid

That’s why teenagers and adults shouldn’t smoke and vape so they can live longer and have a happy life

People need to clear up what they are VAPING. Vaping saved my LIFE!

Just legalize marijuana... that’s why teens & young adults buy the carts

im in year 7 at the moment. everyone in my grade is 12 or 13. it is so sad because almost all the year 7 are already addicted to vaping. i have not vaped yet myself, but my friends are pressuring me into vaping. it is a lot harder being 13 now days than you think.

After smoking for 15 years vaping has really helped me a lot. Was a pack a day and now since I picked up vaping a pack of cigarettes has lasted me two weeks. Completely stopped smoking now and one BC5000 will last me a little over two weeks. Also, I guess her campaign didn’t work, because vaping is still very popular today. Just like cigarettes, vaping rakes in too much money to illegalize it.

Hear that? Said she added thc....cut with vitamin e

You know damn well you didn’t say “I’m 22” at the smoke shop and they were like “okay” and gives you Juul pods😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sounds like fake carts 😂 if it’s such a problem why did they legalize it how many deaths have been recorded from smoking Tabaco

Just thought I’d say my thoughts I’m 20 and have been vaping for 5 years only hit thc carts a few times and went to the hospital to get x rays on reasons not related to breathing or vaping issues but I had ct scans on my chest and all came back as 100% healthy not to say that itll stay that way or that that should be a way for anyone to justify it but in a few cities over from where I live a kid who only did thc carts no nicotine vapes had to be rushed to the er cuz his lungs were crystallized

Dont get nicotine vape in this, just admit it was cheap weed carts.

There is no oil in vape juice. Also, she was vaping "illegal" cannabis "OIL", that is the reason she got sick.

For anyone wondering what ingredient may cause this its, vitamin E acetate which has been indicated in EVALI, which stands for e-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury. This ingredient is found in the marijuana type vapes or THC and uncommon in the nicotine only vapes. This video clearly states she was using the marijuana and nicotine vape.

“i smoked fake krts and now i’m blaming it on vapes so i dont get charged” is the truth

Mane this story sound bogus “I didn’t wanna tell my parents I was vaping” her mom said “it look like gum rappers it looked like cute little mascara wounds” baby sounds like to me she was smoking fake carts smh 🤦🏽‍♀️ you brought it on yourself girl

Damn she’s a heavy smoker if she could finish a cartridge a day

This Generation needs to learn about Consequences!

if your e-juice is free of diacetyl and acetyl propionyl and has no vitamin E then is there then any harm at all from vaping ?

I want to correct her, “I used shitty fake dab carts” the ONLY thing in good juice that can cause any lung issue is proplyne glycol

How did she pay for a pack a day at 15? Isn’t that like $100 a week? 🤔

Ive switched to vaping in my quitting smoking journey, but ive never been this breathless. Im out of breath, sitting down.

She wasn't being honest with anyone about her illegal, black-market drug use. Vitamin E Acetate as a cutter for the THC or K-2...

She was smoking boof carts that’s why

Im literally watching this hitting my juul thinking “whys the media so fake”

Been vaping thc carts for years and eventually you will get tired of feeling like you need it and quit.

It's been a month since i quit vaping and fyi I'm an adult (mid 30s) best decision I have ever made BUT now I'm having a hard time quitting smoking cigarettes because of this
