A Florida college student is warning others about the dangers of smoking Juul pods after one of his lungs collapsed from the toxic chemicals in his mint-flavored pods.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Chance Ammirata, an 18-year-old student at Florida International University, said he woke up on July 29 with extreme pain on his left side. The rising freshman was supposed to spend the day with a friend at a bowling alley but continued to experience discomfort — even while just sitting down.
"When they did the actual major surgery to re-inflate my lungs, the surgeon said,'Whatever you've been smoking has been leaving these black dots on your lungs,'" Chance said. But Chance's opinion has changed since. In the days following his operation, the teenager shared his experience on Instagram in an effort to raise awareness about the risks of vaping.
