A young woman was so addicted to vaping she SHOWERED and SLEPT with her e-cig - until she nearly died when her lungs collapsed and black goo poured out of her. Jordan Brielle had been smoking cigarettes since being a young teen but decided to switch to vaping in 2021. The 32-year-old, who lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, US, soon became addicted to the devices - forking out $500 a week on her vaping habit.
Jordan said she even took her e-cigarette into the shower and slept with it at the height of her addiction. The residential assistant noticed a decline in her health in November of last year when she began to feel a distinct heaviness in her chest. The step-mom-of-one said she went to the hospital two or three times a week with breathing problems - but still continued to vape despite her respiratory issues.
In May, Jordan was rushed to hospital after her partner found her unresponsive in bed with "black mucus" dripping out of her nose and mouth. After suctioning two litres of "black" fluid from her lungs, doctors placed Jordan into a medically induced coma for 11 days. Jordan admits she feels lucky to be alive - and is now warning others to steer clear of vaping.
Jordan said: "I was fully addicted. I was vaping so much that I slept with it, it went to the shower with me. I was vaping an excessive amount.
"Then in mid-November, I began feeling a heaviness in my chest. At first it was just a respiratory infection or bronchitis so I kept going to the hospital with breathing problems.
