'Nine-year vaping habit left me with black teeth and £17K out of pocket'
A woman reports spending £17,200 on a nine-year vaping habit that caused significant dental damage and discoloration.Summary
Stacey Gardiner, 41, spent approximately £17,200 on vaping over nine years, starting in 2017. She initially used rechargeable devices but quickly switched to disposables, consuming up to five vapes weekly. She noticed her front teeth becoming discolored around 2021, and a dentist suggested the damage was likely due to vaping. Facing a lengthy wait for NHS dental care, Stacey quit vaping six months ago and used £200 for clip-in veneers to conceal the damage. She highlights a lack of awareness regarding the dental risks of vaping, particularly among young people, and hopes to raise awareness about the potential for tooth discoloration and damage caused by vape residue. She believes more focus is given to the lung damage caused by vaping than the harm it can inflict on teeth.
