"Juul pods almost killed me: 18-year-old college student's lung COLLAPSED after vaping for a year

• Chance Ammirata's left lung collapsed last week
• The 18-year-old from Florida had to have surgery to reinflate the lung
• If he hadn't gotten to the hospital fast enough, he would have died
• Doctors told him the hole in his lung was from smoking - but Chance said he smokes about on Juul pod every two days
• Chance will never be able to run cross country again or SCUBA dive Juul claims that it's products are 'safer' than cigarettes
• At least nine other teenage vapers in Wisconsin were hospitalized last week US regulators are demanding Juul to disclose the chemicals in its pods
• Chance is using social media to warn other teens to stop vaping

An 18-year-old college student's lung collapsed due to damage from the toxic chemicals in his mint Juul pods, he told DailyMail.com.

Chance Ammirata, a rising freshman at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, was at death's door last week as a result of the device he thought was 'safe.'

On average, Chance vaped about one Juul pod every two days - roughly the equivalent of 10 cigarettes-worth of nicotine a day.

The Food and Drug Administration does not cap nicotine content for cigarettes or vapes, contents of other chemicals vary from product to product and everyone's tolerances vary for nicotine are different, so it's not clear how much is too much.

It has recently announced plans to add more substances to its list of toxins e-cig and cigarette makers must be disclose, as well as to regulate nicotine content.

But these changes didn't come soon enough to save Chance vaping far more than his young body could handle.

What he thought was just a strained muscle turned out to be devastating damage that required major surgery to repair to repair.

Now, Chance is blasting a warning against the trendy e-cigarettes to his social media as he begins the long road to recovery. "

I don't vape mentholated vape juice, or mint. Gives me a headache. But I didn't smoke mentholated smokes either. It was proven long ago that those who smoke mentholated cigarettes have a shorter lifespan than those who smoke non mentholated cigarettes.

I don't know if juul uses any menthol in their mint or not....

I can't stand menthol either. Don't like mint either and some e liquid I got today turns out to have a bit of mint in it, so will give that to a vaper mate who likes minty/menthol.

I love Ice cream and desert e liquids.

Sure @Mawsley did a news article on this a while back. It's typical over reaction by US press (no offense @kockeyedkitty ), same with the Wisconsin kids who were apparently vaping THC who ended up in hospital. Scare stories designed to keep BT off the front page, despite releasing their own ecigs & HnB devices.

Gun regulation would seem to be a good starting point.

The youngster himself has been posting on instagram that his doctor told him the Juul pods caused his collapsed lung- the DM just picked up the "story." It seems the question is whether there is diacetyl in there or not.

I agree that it all seems odd.

I've vaped nothing but juice containing diacetyl for the past 5 years ( diy my own to make sure I get a healthy dose) and its never caused me any harm why would that be the issue?

It's an attempt at getting a nice wedge of compensation. This is the country where McDonald's got sued for selling hot apple pies because they were hot.
