Vaping may be safer than smoking cigarettes for those trying to quit, but the shocking case of a British teenager who was highlighted the risks.
Kyla Blight. 17, from Cumbria in England, who started vaping when she was 15, had to be rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung linked to her 4,000 puffs a week on vapes (the equivalent to 400 cigarettes).
She needed a five-and-a-half hour operation to remove part of her lung – doctors found that a
Wir werden schon lange vor den Gefahren alternder Haut und tiefer Fältchen durch das Rauchen von Zigaretten gewarnt, aber Dermatologen warnen, dass auch E-Zigaretten für faltige Haut und Ausschläge verantwortlich sind.
Die größten Dampfer aller Generationen sind die zwischen 1997 und 2012 geborenen Mitglieder der Generation Z. Sie sind alle unter 27 Jahre alt, doch scheinen sie laut Social-Media-Nutzern schneller zu altern als die Millennials.
Lebensstil, Ernährung, Umwelt und Stress fordern laut US-Forschern ihren Tribut von der jungen Generation.
Doch
It’s a complaint which has gone viral on social media: Generation Z, it is claimed, are ‘ageing like milk’. In posts viewed millions of times on video-sharing app TikTok, the eye-catching theory is that a generation of young adults, all under the age of 27, already look older than the generation before them, Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996).
One of the first to notice was influencer Jordan Howlett who, aged just 26, confessed to his 12 million followers that
British women were this week shamed as the biggest binge drinkers in the developed world.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found 26 per cent were downing more than six drinks in one go at least once a month.
Meanwhile, nearly half of British men binged regularly, ranking them third in the world.
But alcohol isn’t the UK’s only vice. Britons are also among the biggest vapers and junk food addicts in the world, according to a swathe
Rishi Sunak today unveiled bold plans to stamp out the child vaping epidemic and ban kids aged 14 and under from ever legally being able to buy cigarettes.
The proposed law will annually raise the age of legal purchase of tobacco from the current 18 by one additional year every 12 months.
It will see England follow in the footsteps of New Zealand, which last year adopted the same policy for everyone born after 2009. Under the Prime Minister’s proposed
A mother was left fearing her toddler would grow up without a parent after being rushed to hospital with vaping-related pneumonia.
Jodie Hudson, from Worksop in Nottinghamshire, swapped cigarettes for e-cigarettes two years ago as she was seeking a less harmful alternative.
The 26-year-old would vape ‘anywhere and everywhere’ — getting through a vape every day — and had no intention of quitting.
But last month she suffered severe bouts of dizziness and breathlessness that left her struggling to move,
A North Carolina woman is channeling her grief over the death of her teen stepson to warn against the dangers of vaping.
Solomon Wynn, a native of Wilmington, North Carolina, died suddenly at 15 after a deadly build-up of fluid in his lungs which doctors believe was caused by his e-cigarette habit.
Prior to the rapid onset of breathing difficulties, Solomon was a fit and healthy teenager and football starlet who had dreams of playing professionally.
But earlier this year
It’s best if I just come clean: for the past year, I’ve been hooked on vaping. Specifically, those neon-coloured disposable ones called things like ‘Elf Bar’ and ‘Lost Mary’ (no, I have no idea why) – which taste and are packaged like sweets and are clearly made to appeal to children.
My preferred flavours included ‘Gummy Bear’, ‘Blue Razz Lemonade’ and, my favourite, ‘Triple Mango’. Just writing this makes me cringe. I’m pretty embarrassed, but it’s best if I’m honest.
The number of teenagers who have tried e-cigarettes has surged by 50 per cent in one year, shocking data showed today.
Some 11.6 per cent of 11-17 year olds in Britain confessed to having ever vaped. This is up on 7.7 per cent last year and twice as high as rates seen a decade ago — before the UK’s kid vaping epidemic blew up.
Results also revealed the number of regular teen users is on the rise, sparking alarm among
With shelves packed full of lollipops and chocolate, you’d be forgiven for assuming this was just a sweet shop.
Tucked away inside, and even brazenly advertised in some windows, lies something illegal for under-18s to buy. Vapes.
Incredibly vibrant shades of green, blue and pink adorn the huge display. Nearly all the e-cigs sold here are chemically-altered to taste funky, with flavours like Blue Razz Lemonade and Fairground Wizz, or are emblazoned with cartoon characters.
So why, if kids can’t
