Cancer tied to woman's vaping habit since age 15 as she's now given just months to live

Headtopics
A 22-year-old woman diagnosed with lung cancer after vaping since age 15 has been given 18 months to live, urging others to avoid vaping.

Summary

Kayley Boda, 22, of Manchester, UK, has been diagnosed with lung cancer and given 18 months to live after vaping since the age of 15. She initially experienced symptoms like coughing up brown mucus and was repeatedly dismissed by doctors as having a chest infection. After seven biopsies, she was diagnosed with lung cancer, underwent surgery and chemotherapy, and initially received a clean bill of health. However, the cancer returned in her pleural lining, and she now faces a grim prognosis. Boda is now speaking out to warn others about the dangers of vaping, emphasizing that she started vaping after briefly smoking as a teenager and that her symptoms began shortly after switching to disposable vapes. Doctors haven't definitively linked her cancer to vaping but acknowledge it didn't help. She is now trying to raise funds for further treatment.
