She started vaping at 15; at 22, she has only 18 months to live
Summary
Kayley Boda, a 22-year-old from Manchester, has been given 18 months to live due to lung cancer believed to be caused by vaping. She began vaping at 15, initially using reusable vapes before switching to disposable ones. After experiencing alarming symptoms like coughing up blood, she was eventually diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. Despite initial treatment and a period of remission, the cancer returned and is now considered terminal. Doctors have indicated her case is rare for someone her age, typically seen in patients over 80. Kayley is now advocating for others to stop vaping, emphasizing that it was marketed as a safer alternative without sufficient long-term study, and disposable vapes may be particularly harmful. She and her family have quit, and she urges others to do the same.
