A boy ended up being fed through a tube at a UK hospital after smoking an e-cigarette. The 17-year-old A-level student has been receiving treatment since last summer after a bad reaction to an e-cigarette.
The teenager enjoyed football, cricket, and rugby and was planning to attend university. The youngster had reacted to the aerosol-flavoured chemicals contained in the vape fluid which caused a severe inflammatory reaction in the lungs.
After being put on a ventilator, he ended up in intensive care until the end of November and it was feared he wouldn’t pull through.
