Young Woman Diagnosed with Lung Cancer After Years of Vaping Faces Terminal Prognosis
A 22-year-old woman named Kayley Boda from Manchester has been diagnosed with lung cancer after starting to vape at the age of 15. Initially, she was consuming a 600 puff vape weekly. In January of the previous year, she began coughing up a brown substance with grainy bits, which led her to seek medical attention. Despite visiting doctors eight times, she was repeatedly told she had a chest infection until she started coughing up blood. This prompted further investigation, leading to a diagnosis of lung cancer after seven biopsies. Kayley underwent surgery to remove the lower lobe of her right lung and received chemotherapy. Although she was given the all-clear in February 2026, she soon experienced severe chest pains, and two months later, it was discovered that the cancer had returned in the pleural lining, giving her less than two years to live.
