An Ohio woman is fighting for her life after smoking more than a cartridge of e-cigarette liquid every day for seven years.

Like a growing number of young Americans, Amanda Stelzer, 34, started vaping in 2015 after seeing many of her friends doing so and thinking it would be fun. 

She was quickly hooked on the devices and found herself going through around eight cartridges of vape fluid each week - the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day. 

Suddenly in October 2019, she went to urgent care after suffering from breathing problems. Doctors could not figure out what was wrong and sent her to a local hospital. Within the next 24 hours she was on life support.

Chest scans revealed she was suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome - a deadly condition that occurs when a person's lungs become so damaged they fail to provide the rest of the body with enough oxygen.
