Detroit doctors perform first U.S. double lung transplant: hospital
Doctors at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan say vaping damaged a 17-year-old's lungs so severely that he needed a double lung transplant.
The patient's family said that within a very short time the teen went from a perfectly healthy athlete to being intubated with two new lungs.
Vaping has been tied to 39 fatalities and more than 2,000 lung injuries in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
