Jake P., PA

When I was 15 I started using vape and thc vapor products, around a year later I was noticing a terrible cough which would wake my family up every morning. I finally got the courage to tell my family and went to children’s hospital in Pittsburgh. I was diagnosed with E.V.A.L.I (electronic vapor acute lung injury), and an inflamed liver/lungs. During my years in high school I successfully got my friends and other students to quit and my doctor at the hospital told me I should reach out and see what I could do to help other kids.
