All you need to know about woman, 22, given 18 months to live after vaping since age 15
Kayley Boda, 22, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer after vaping since age 15 and is now warning others about the dangers.Summary
Kayley Boda, a 22-year-old from Manchester, has been given 18 months to live after being diagnosed with lung cancer. She began vaping at age 15 and progressed to using one 600-puff disposable vape per week before experiencing symptoms, including coughing up a brown substance. Initially dismissed by doctors as a chest infection, she underwent seven biopsies and surgery, receiving a temporary all-clear in February 2026. Sadly, the cancer returned two months later, spreading to the pleural lining of her lungs. Kayley believes her illness is linked to switching to disposable vapes and is now raising £20,000 for experimental treatment in Germany, urging others to avoid vaping with the warning: “Stay off the vapes, because they will catch up with you.”
