A fit builder claims he has been left with a hole in his lung after suffering horrendous injuries caused by a vape he bought in a corner shop. Roofer Alex Gittins says he thought he was going to die after getting an immediate reaction to buying the cheap device.
The 31-year-old told the Mirror that he ended up having an immediate operation where surgeons revealed the extent of the damage. Alex said that first of all he felt a nasty chemical taste in his throat, and then he seemed to have a ‘stitch’ in his side.
Alex’s condition went downhill very quickly after buying the device in County Durham on May 25. He went to A&E and an X-ray tests revealed a collapsed young.
