Greater Manchester headteacher issues warning after pupil collapses from one puff of counterfeit street vape

A teenager collapsed after just one puff of a vape purchased on Manchester's 'counterfeit street', an Oldham headteacher has warned.

Glyn Potts, headteacher at Blessed John Henry Newman RC College, spoke of how pupils were left 'shocked' and 'scared' after their classmate became unwell and passed out near the school gates after his first ever puff of a vape pen.

It was later revealed that the child had purchased the modified disposable vape, which claimed to contain CBD oil, in Cheetham Hill. Thankfully, the child made a full recovery from the incident - but Mr Potts is warning of the dangers of vaping on young people's health.
