Keep 2 phones: 1 grapheneOS without SIM and 1 normy phone for have-to's.

Use SimpleX on grapheneOS phone and motivate your besties to come along.

Keep your normie phone in a Faraday bag as much as possible and use it only in 1 place as much as possible (eg only at home).

RTL: zeker vijf mensen bijna overleden als gevolg van vapen

Zeker vijf mensen zijn de afgelopen maanden in zeer kritieke toestand in het ziekenhuis beland door het gebruik van vapes, meldt RTL Nieuws op basis van eigen onderzoek. Vier van hen lagen langere tijd in coma.

De vijf die in het ziekenhuis belandden gebruikten allemaal verschillende soorten en verschillende merken vapes met smaakjes. Sinds begin 2024 zijn dit soort vapes illegaal. Alleen elektronische sigaretten met een tabakssmaak zijn nog toegestaan.

RTL vroeg 71 ziekenhuizen of zij de afgelopen tijd patiënten hadden opgenomen die klachten hadden na het gebruik van vapes. Zestien ziekenhuizen reageerden hierop dat dit inderdaad het geval was. Hun patiënten hadden onder meer klaplongen, longontstekingen of de longziekte COPD gekregen na vapen.

In vijf gevallen werden er geen andere oorzaken gevonden waardoor de patiënten zo ziek waren geworden. Zo hoestte de 28-jarige Robin plotseling grote hoeveelheden bloed op. Hij lag dagenlang in coma. Na uitgebreid onderzoek stelden de artsen dat het vapen de oorzaak was van zijn toestand.

Ernstige longziekte

In Terneuzen belandden een 19-jarige man en een veertiger vlak na elkaar in het ziekenhuis. Beide mannen moesten in coma worden gebracht om de ernstige longziekte die ze hadden opgelopen te kunnen overleven, schrijft RTL, die de behandelend arts sprak. Volgens de arts hadden de twee het niet overleefd als ze enkele uren later opgenomen waren.

Sinds eind 2023 vraagt de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kindergeneeskunde artsen om melding te maken als patiënten ziek geworden zijn na vapen. In 2024 belandden zeker veertien kinderen in het ziekenhuis nadat zij hadden gevapet.

Het is al langer bekend dat het gebruik van vapes niet alleen schade kan aanrichten in de longen, maar ook aan de hersenen en andere organen. Door het inhaleren komen giftige metalen diep in de longen terecht en daarna verder in het lichaam. Ook de blootstelling aan zware metalen kan blijvende schade veroorzaken die niet alleen op de lange termijn, maar ook op de korte termijn merkbaar is, waarschuwen onderzoekers.

In 2022 onderzocht NOS Stories de gevaren van het vapen in deze video:

Beter vapen dan roken?
