Newcastle schoolboy taken to hospital after being told 'you've been spiced' with 'spiked' vape
Summary
A Year 8 pupil at North Gosforth Academy in Newcastle was taken to hospital after experiencing adverse effects from a vape offered to him on the school bus. The boy reportedly took two puffs of the vape, described as a “new flavour” by an older student, before becoming unwell and being told he had been “spiced.” Paramedics were called, and the boy was hospitalized and treated with a drip before being discharged. The boy’s father believes hospital tests indicated the presence of “mazza,” a regional term for vapes containing illicit substances. The incident is under investigation by Northumbria Police, and the school trust is cooperating with authorities. The father is now raising awareness about the dangers of vaping and the risk of spiked vapes.
