the dangers of vaping have been pretty
well chronicled doctors say the lungs of
the most badly damaged vapors look as if
they've been subjected to mustard gas
and yet the vaping habit persists but a
fight against vaping is being waged by a
teenager who knows the perils of it
better than anyone last fall Daniel
lament of Grosse Pointe became the wrong
kind of pioneer a horrible reaction to
vaping meant he needed a double lung
transplant now doctors cannot pinpoint
where the Daniels problems were related
to THC or from nicotine but it means
that he does know now what he wants to
do with the life that doctors were
somehow able to save I try to forget
sometimes but when you look back at
pictures as you know this week has been
a reminder just looking back at the
videos and the pictures and seeing
everything again yes recounting the
insane ordeal isn't easy for tamia men
it's a little easier for Daniel because
he remembers almost nothing about the
near-death experience that led to him
being the nation's first double lung
transplant recipient due to vaping he
just knew nothing felt the same I lost
50 days of my memory so it felt like I
just woke up and
they were like oh you got a lung
transplant and you've been in bed for 75
days or 50 days at that point so I
couldn't move like I literally my
muscles I couldn't like lift my arm more
than this I couldn't sit up in bed on my
own I couldn't stand up and to like
about two weeks after that so it really
felt like I wasn't myself and in ways he
never will be the regimen of his new
life is demanding the medications the
rehabilitation the cautions he'll have
to take forever to keep his body from
rejecting the strange lungs now pumping
oxygen into his blood dr. Hassan Namie
has seen plenty of lung damage over the
years but he said the damage in Daniel
from vaping wasn't evil he had never
encountered before well if you have
scaling things between zero and ten with
ten being the worst he was at ten to set
to ten each like separate yeah okay and
yet here he is thinner weaker but wiser
and now the very thing that almost
killed him is the new cause he wants his
life to serve a lot of people are still
finding it really hard to quit and
that's kind of one like trying to start
this nonprofit and just most of it is
trying to get my friends to stop like
I'm just need to do something so that it
doesn't happen like other people because
it was just so horrible like what I
experienced she's our therapy dog so if
we understand the job one is just
getting back up to speed and back to
good health job two for Daniel is a
nonprofit he's launching aimed at
getting young people to kick the vaping
habit it is exactly what he would tell
himself if he could talk to the Daniel
Ament of a year ago I was tried and I
didn't see any real issue to it but I
would still try not to do it that much
because I didn't want to get addicted to
it and yet he didn't have to be addicted
for vaping to shut down his lungs and
that's part of his message to just a
little can be too much the hope must be
that the message will have more power
coming from peers the doctors can lay
out their horrific x-rays and
well-meaning caring parents like Tammy
can try and try
look a little affect the kids don't want
to listen the kids don't listen to
anyone they just they don't hear us with
my nonprofit since I am a kid I can like
trying to reach people better because
like I'm coming from their point of view
and I was literally exactly like them
yeah before all this happen yes daniel
says it's harder to find people who
don't vape than it is to find those who
do in high school
Daniels nonprofit is called fight for
wellness and if you want to know more
we've put a link on our website at
clickondetroit.com and while daniel is
fighting the demand for vaping the
Michigan State House we should note is
considering what's in the supply side
there are currently three bills being
considered that would take when taken
together it would ban vitamin E acetate
from vaping products that is the atom
especially present in THC oil but
researchers believe is at the heart of
the most severe vaping lung injury cases
thank you for bringing his story to
everyone well then we thank them because
it wasn't you know we didn't know who it
was obviously for a long time and a
tough story to tell all right here's
Sandra ollie with what's coming up
tomorrow at 5:00 I'll take you up
