Okay, so I need to tell you about something that's been keeping me up at night. I came across this story about a 17-year-old girl named Kyla Blyth, and honestly, it's terrifying.

Picture this: It's 4 AM on a regular Tuesday in May 2024. Kyla's at a friend's house for a sleepover when suddenly she collapses. Her face turns blue. Her dad Mark gets the call every parent dreads and rushes to the hospital. When doctors figure out what happened, it turns out her lung had literally burst. From vaping.

And here's what really gets me—Kyla was vaping about 4,000 puffs a week. That's the equivalent of smoking 57 cigarettes every single day. She started when she was 15 because all her friends were doing it, and she genuinely thought it was harmless. I mean, that's what everyone says, right? "It's just water vapor." "It's safer than cigarettes." We've all heard it.

But here's what actually happened to her lungs. The vaping created these tiny air bubbles called blebs on her lung tissue. Think of them like weak spots or blisters. Eventually, one of them just popped—like a balloon, except it was part of her actual lung. She needed emergency surgery that lasted over five hours, and surgeons had to remove part of her lung. Her dad said he "cried like a baby" watching her go through it.

The really messed up part? This wasn't even her first warning. Back in November 2023, she ended up in the ER thinking she was having a heart attack. Turns out it was already lung damage. She went back again in February. And she kept vaping anyway. Because when you're 17 and everyone's doing it and social media is full of people making it look cool, you convince yourself the risks don't apply to you.

The science behind this is actually pretty straightforward but scary. The chemicals in vape juice—when heated—are toxic to your lung cells. Over time, they cause inflamm
