Faliero says her health decline happened rapidly after switching to e-cigarettes. While she intended vaping to be a temporary aid, it became a frequent habit. “I ended up vaping more than I ever smoked,” she admitted. “It started as a replacement and quickly became something I relied on constantly.”
Her doctors noted that her condition worsened not from her years of smoking, but from the intensity of her later vaping habit. Now, she is focused on raising awareness and sharing her story to help others make more informed choices.
“This isn’t just flavored vapor—it can have real consequences,” she said. “I just want people to take it seriously and not assume it’s risk-free.”
Though her daily life has changed dramatically, Faliero is determined to speak out. She hopes her experience will encourage more conversations about lung health and the importance of fully understanding what we put into our bodies.
“I’m not sharing this to scare people,” she emphasized. “I’m sharing it to help someone else avoid what I’m going through.”
Faliero’s journey is a powerful reminder that when it comes to health, decisions matter—and seeking information, support, and guidance can make all the difference.
