A 20-year-old has been diagnosed with 'popcorn lung' and told she could end up needing an oxygen machine by 30 - after becoming so 'attached' to her vape she fell asleep holding it.
Abby Flynn started using disposable vapes around a year and a half ago but she claims she soon became so addicted she puffed through one disposable a day, which is the equivalent to 140 cigarettes a week, and at £4.50 a pop, the habit set her back by £135 a month.
The former supermarket maintenance coordinator said that as time went by her cough got progressively worse until she couldn't breathe last month, so dashed to Milton Keynes University Hospital.
