- Tazmin Blight, 19, initially thought she had trapped wind, but doctors told her a small air pocket had caused her lung to collapse.
- Despite witnessing her sister Kyla’s near-death experience from vaping, Tazmin continued to vape and was consuming up to 600 puffs a day.
- Tazmin’s father, Mark, believes that vapes are what caused his daughters’ collapsed lungs and is advocating for a complete ban on vaping products.
