Doctor shares horrifying ‘irreversible’ lung comparison after six months of vaping

A doctor has shown what just six months of vaping can do to your lungs as she warned about the 'real consequences' of the harmful habit.

You might know that vaping is meant to be less harmful than smoking, but that doesn't make it a healthy thing to do or completely without harm.

TikToking doctor Daria Sadovskaya recently warned that just a few months of vaping could be doing 'irreversible' damage to your lungs as she shared the comparison she typically showed patients to convince them to stop.

In one image she showed what a regular scan of someone's lungs looked like and then put it alongside the picture of a vaper's lungs, with the difference between the two being stark.

If you knew what vaping was doing to you inside you might not keep doing it, though they are packed with addictive substances which makes it hard to quit.

There are plenty of people who switched from smoking to vaping as a way to quit the habit, but just ended up replacing one for the other without going towards the goal of quitting overall.

But then there are plenty of people who took up vaping without ever smoking in the first place and they're still doing damage to themselves.

Some of the new vapers took up the habit very young and are already counting the cost it has had on their health, like New Zealand teenager LeeRay King who started using disposable vapes when he was 14 and got hooked.

He recounted how he'd get through 'about four disposables in a week' until he woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain, and over the next four months his left lung collapsed multiple times and he needed several surgeries to remove part of it.

Doctors removed a damaged chunk of the teenager's lung which had been scarred black, and they reckoned it was his vaping that had done the damage.

There have been all sorts of demonstrations of what smoking does to the lungs but vaping can also cause serious damage in a short amount of time as well.

Plenty of others have thought it wouldn't happen to them and then been hit with punishing consequences, like Hudson Williams whose vaping gave him chest pains he described as feeling 'like being shot in the chest with a gun'.

He was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung and told that even if he quit vaping forever he was still at risk of it happening again as he did serious damage to himself.
