These are some of my personal encounters with va**ng patients—
Case 1:
Female patient 23yo came back from Qatar. She had been coughing for 2 weeks. Her mother had been convincing her to stop va**ng. She lost her job abroad because she failed her medical tests due to pneumonia.
Case 2:
17 yo male who complained of occasional chest tightness. NO COUGH. I requested for chest xray and found something that resembled a mass in the right lung. He started va**ng only 5months before symptoms occurred. He ended up breaking down (crying) at the ER upon hearing about the impression.
V**ES are not safer than CI******ES.
BOTH are UNHEALTHY HABITS.
