KUALA LUMPUR 10th May: You are not giving up anything when you quit vaping; you are gaining better health, freedom and a brighter future. A 44-year-old Johor Bharu resident has cautioned others against vaping before he died yesterday at 7.15am
In a six-minute TikTok video, TikTok user @radzirockrider admitted that he was on death’s door as he had a heart condition caused by four years of vaping, which began as a way to cope with stress at work.
“My heart is functioning at just three percent. I was sedated and oxygenated to be saved. Two weeks ago, I was taken to the ward because of heart failure. I vaped so much where one hand held the vape and the other was clinging to the motorcycle handlebar.”.
“When I stopped vaping for just two days, I became short of breath due to my compromised heart, and I was hospitalized,” he said.
He recounted that his situation deteriorated to the point where he needed oxygen and had to undergo a procedure to drain yellow fluid and pus from his lungs.
“To young people, quit vaping before you lose your chance,” he wrapped the video with a heartfelt message. (Source Sinar Harian)
