Teen collapsed outside school after taking first ever puff of vape

A teenager collapsed near his school gates after taking his first ever puff on a vape. The pupil's headteacher has now issued a warning.

Headteacher Glyn Potts said the child made a full recovery but he is warning of the dangers of vaping on young people's health. Mr Potts told MEN: "We don't know what is going in the vapes themselves, and a number of them are repurposed.

"We are seeing vapes that have been reignited with chemicals and toxins that we don't know about. That's certainly the case with the young man that collapsed at our school.
