— and he's got the scars to prove it.Kyle Lano says the e-cigarettes he thought were a safer alternative to smoking were instead a more efficient way to die.There are now 9 million vapers in the United States and a measly 450 who have suffered severe lung illness. In the minds of many vapers, the numbers don't warrant the health hysteria now sweeping the nation.Or at least that's what 21-year-old Lano told himself and anyone else who would listen."I would always argue how safe it was until those e-cigarettes took effect on me," he said.One year ago, the self-proclaimed vaping fanatic suffered a collapsed left lung."At this time, I didn't think vaping had anything to do with it," he said. "And I told my family and the doctors that same thing. So, I didn't stop."His vaping habit, what he calls his addiction to the vaporized nicotine, continued unabated following his hospitalization."I liked the clouds and the nicotine," he said. "I was really into it."Then, this summer, his love of vaping collapsed, along with his right lung."My chest just got really tight and I felt a sharp pain come right back up to my chest," Lano said.His choice of whether to quit had been flanked by his addiction."Now I believe it's vaping because it's the only thing I'm doing," Lano said. "There's no other reason why my lungs should've collapsed the way they did."Lano spent six days in the hospital this time. It cost his family thousands. But much worse, he said, it cost him one-third of his right lung and a lifetime of diminished lung capacity."I didn't know how serious it was until I was actually in the hospital and they showed me how small my lung was," he said.A smoker gets plenty of warning before major health effects set in. That includes years of coughing, a loss of taste and smell. They are all precursors to something worse is on the horizon. However, for vapers like Lano, symptoms don't include a heads up — and we could be years from understanding why.Dr. Christian Thurstone is the Director of Behavior Health at Denver Health. He knows why teens and young adults get hooked on vaping. It's the same reason anyone can get hooked on smoking: nicotine. But what he calls the Russian roulette being played by millions with vaping is mind-boggling to him.And, until more is known about what's going into vaping juices, his advice is the same today as it was when vaping hit the U. S. market more than a decade ago."Until we know a lot more information about exactly what ingredient is in the vape juice that's causing these deaths and serious illnesses, the best advice is to stay away from vaping," Thurstone siad.That's terrible news for the vaping industry, which is largely unregulated and now under tremendous scrutiny. Still, 40% of Denver teens have tried vaping, and half of those were still vaping this month.Lano sees the continued popularity of vaping among teens and young adults and pictures an entire generation clouded by false claims and fancy flavors. He fears the real costs of this "untested" habit coming into focus far too late."We have our whole lives ahead of us, and we're going to end up on oxygen in our 20s and 30s," Lano said.Vaping has quickly become one of the most popular addictions for an entire generation.While vaping supporters insist cases of severe lung illnesses and death are only tied to those users who load their vaping devices with black market THC products and tainted juice pods, Thurstone has seen a different science. It's convinced him dangerous oils and heavy metals can show up in just about any vaping pod. Thurstone says that to assume a vape pod doesn't contain dangerous chemicals is little more than a user taking a leap of faith.This story was originally published by David Klugh on 3751

With over 160 vaccines in development, the race to defeat COVID-19 continues.A California company hopes to deliver its vaccine to your mailbox; one that is pain-free and doesn't require a needle and syringe."One of the things I wanted to do was make vaccines more patient-friendly, so they don't hurt and you're not afraid to take them," said Dr. Dan Henderson, a virologist and the CEO of Verndari, Inc.The biopharmaceutical company is based in Napa, California. Dr. Henderson originally came to the wine country to retire but stepped back into the lab during the Ebola crisis. He says some adults avoid vaccines because of a fear of needles, so Verndari set out to do something different. They created the VaxiPatch, a single-dose vaccination kit that uses a dermal patch with a metal microneedle array to deliver vaccines. Once applied, the person wears the patch like a Band-Aid for five minutes. The vaccine uses the COVID-19 "spike" protein that enables the virus to infect human cells and works to enhance a person's immune person.Unlike traditional vaccines, the patch doesn't need to be refrigerated, which Henderson says would make it easier and cheaper to send to developing countries. The company initially set out to make a flu vaccine but switched gears during the pandemic; they continue to adapt to the world's changing needs. "Now, for the First World, it's a shelter-in-place vaccine," said Henderson.They're working with the FDA to see if it could be mailed to your home. The vaccine would leave a temporary blue mark so the patient could take a photo and send it to their health care provider as proof of vaccination. In collaboration with the UC Davis, they've begun clinical trials in animals. Dr. Henderson says so far the results are promising.Other researchers are also working on getting a patch like this on people's arms.Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have created a fingertip-sized skin patch that is also showing promising results in animal testing. Verndari hopes to test its vaccine in humans in the fall, and if all goes well, it could be made available to the public early next year. Dr. Henderson believes they could manufacture about 20 million doses a month. "It would mean a lot because it's important to me to make a contribution and a contribution like that, to me, is priceless." 2408

Coby is one of two family dogs he plans to take to his new home in Virginia.Back on Valentines Day, Cruz's adopted brother Nikolas killed 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. "A lot of things I wish I would have done to prevent it, wish I could have stopped him somehow," Zachary said.Zachary said he and his brother fought a lot when they were younger though their relationship improved as they grew.RELATED: More Parkland coverage "I felt I was too hard on him at times.
