A Utah teenager suffered debilitating damage to her lungs after around three years of near-daily vaping.

Maddie Nelson, 18, started to feel ill earlier this year, according to her sister, Andrea Fullmer, but last month she started running a high fever and experienced severe back and kidney pain. Fullmer added that prior to seeking medical attention, Nelson had spent “weeks of dealing with nausea, vomiting, and chest pain.”
