1:30 am
less than one year ago, the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that the cigarettes were harmless, at least that's what he had always heard. i didn't think it was dangerous that the worst that could happen is maybe getting addicted to nicotine, which at that time it didn't seem like they killed me cuz i just a kid does doing things. yeah. and the only really like i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out like, oh, it won't hurt you. is it good for you don't like that. like, it really wasn't true. the american boy is one of those vapors who have gone on to develop everly. this new pulmonary disease has been linked to the use of e cigarettes. daniel consumed the same products as his friends. none of them have
1:31 am
experienced any issues. but for daniel in the september of 2019 his life took a dramatic turn. that night i went to the e. r and this is the 1st day i ever had symptoms and it just went down from there. and i forgot everything that happened for 50 days, and i knew long as like literally just out of nowhere just kind of happened. daniel's lungs stopped functioning normally on an x ray. healthy lungs will appear as black. as a result of the inflammation daniels were white. in the usa, in 2019, they were around 3000 cases of emily, resulting in the deaths of over 50 people. the cause of the severe lung damage is thought to be the victim. an acetate illegally used as a thickener in the e cigarette liquids. new york's north shore hospital has also treated such patients . we were very happy when isa gretz 1st came out because we were trying to get our
1:32 am
smokers off of cigarettes. we use this as an alternative, we gave them nicotine replacement in this, and many patients felt like there were smoking cigarettes smoked a lot less or not at all. and we were happy that this was a real alternative. so what this has turned into is very unfortunate for us because it was a harm reduction that has now turned into this unknown. so we can't, in good conscience say that it's okay to use just nicotine replacement products because we don't even know if those are safe. the theory is that the unregulated t h c. mix products are unlikely the biggest culprit, but we have patients who claim they have not done those and are still sick. so i don't think we have the full answer as to what's going on and some people think it's the flavor and some people think it's the oil that it's mixed in. the lung biopsies have given us different results for different patients. so we don't have a clear, consistent answer from that either. so until we know better, i can't say that it's a harm reduction for the lung specialist. inflammation in the lungs of emily
1:33 am
patience is easily spotted on x rays and c t scans. you can see that there is a breathing tube here in the right, and here the lungs could be nice and black like this up here. and i can see by looking at this that the lungs are not filled with air, which is what they should be. they're filled with the material that should not be there. this is a cat scan. we start at the top of the cat scans. looks very much like normal lung starting at the top. and as we come down with the cat scan, we can see more and more patches of white area. both sides of his lungs are involved. both areas are getting wider and wider as we go down, making it very hard for oxygen, diffuse across these sick areas of lungs should never see the brown keel tree come out like this. none of it is good for our lungs. we know that in all of these products, patients,
1:34 am
lungs are fighting to decrease the inflammatory response fighting to clear what they're, what they're taking. and so the only thing that really your lungs are supposed to take in and it's healthy for your lungs. it's fresh air as you said. everything else is a problem and causes lung disease everything. so these are the poles. after safety on sunday, i've already taken about 20 pills this morning at 830 and 9 am. i have to take 2 more at lunch time and then about 10 more at 9 p. m. like my old healthy body is now dependent on all these pills to even stay alive and be able to breathe. so that's like one of the main points that kind of messes with me. a lot of my head
1:35 am
for daniel's mother, tommy, and then the new situation means constant pill counting. she's glad her son survives at all. since the incident, his insistent is practically non existent. it causes anxiety, just make sure that he's on, he's taking his position and to keep, to keep on and you know, anti rejection. there's anti fungal, anti viral, blood pressure medicine. like every kid at school, i feel like most of them have tried or are still addicted. his twin brother is still addicted. so it's really sad when you see that
1:36 am
he watched him go through everything and, and it's still addicted to nicotine and and to paving daniel had tried a variety of e cigarette products together with his friends, according to him, getting hold of them with no challenge. it's pretty easy for people to get them, especially around here. basically any they shop or anything like they don't card and they don't really care how it will do. as long as you look like old enough, then they don't really care. so what's happening now that they've been around for a few years, we're beginning to find evidence in the population that people whose cigarettes have more heart attacks. they have more strokes, they have more london sees. and you know, every year, as we learn more, the risks get higher and you know,
1:37 am
i think we're not quite there yet, but in the end, i think we're going to realize cigarettes are about as dangerous as cigarettes are . professor sean webs at the new york institute of environmental medicine, he and his team are studying the effects on myself is cigarette vapor, animals that inhaled the vapor for 12 weeks showed damage to the d. n a of the long and hot. but what happens if the mice inhale, e cigarette vapor for an entire year? the researchers have also investigated this question. the next with the days that way, expose the mice for long period time because kids are usually to take a couple of decades to develop like tobacco smoke up the ticket to so your mouse the term with the lead lithium for one year fisher almost one filled out the
1:38 am
lifespan, so 20 years or so human term. so would that m a smoke at the weapon full? why? year? $54.00 weeks. and then we'll open up. when the scientist looked at the animals organs, 9 out of the 40 mice had developed a lunch human. the scientists also found evidence of the possible development of bladder cancer. the nicotine, from the e cigarettes had converted into constant genic substances in much of the same way as in the burning of tobacco. this, along to him of an alarming finding. nicotine appears far from harmless to health, as explained. nor does nicotine vaporize ation appear to protect against nitrous amine formations in the body. from all data is ready. shawnee, suppose the nicotine is caution or genic in mice and where the potential in human because the mechanism they make

a casa tumor is to go through. then i just come in and i chose me, has been proven animal cousin or gene, as well as human customer. despite the vibrant advertising campaigns and the cutting edge design of the devices, e cigarettes may not be as harmless as the manufacturers suggest. why do we found this with smoke tobacco similar among the nuclear to encompass the issue grid, the da da da damage you will observe very similar and the effect on the da repair are very similar and the have the protein of it is similar. so that's why i think that we have to be very, very careful to make that recommendation the emission.

releases morning into the user enhancement. although they will not be aware of this fact. this means that still decades later nicotine manipulation continues to play a major role in the industry from filter gates to which the filter is to tobacco cigarettes. the wic is to the jewel e cigarettes. the tobacco industry seems to keep finding ways to stretch consumer protection laws to that limits helpful therapies and politics have for a long time tried to put obstacles in their way in 2003. remember, states of the world health assembly adopted the w h o for what convention on tobacco control, france, germany, and the european union. but also among the signatories, the 181 countries that ratified the treaty undertook to take the following measures
