Vapers are like the Ed Hardy shirt wearers of yesteryear
I suspect it’s what he’s vaping that is the problem.
The vape cartridge was probably not manufacturer issue.
there were reports from years ago about the accelerated impact on the lungs

this is idiotic.
pneumothorax is caused by the opening of a hole in the lung, preventing it from expanding with air/air builds up in the chest cavity, causing the lung to “collapse”. the boy may have coughed hard casing the hole [I’ve seen that happen to a 14 year old after a coughing fit]
article fails to state
Not saying the vape didn’t cause a coughing fit, just saying the vape was not a unique irritant that was a triggering event. No evidence referenced in article the vape material itself caused a pneumothorax, which is what the ‘reporter’ is trying to imply and cause reader to believe.

This has absolutely nothing to do with people quitting smoking with harm reduction nicotine electronic cigarettes. It’s a scare tactic
