In Ussuriysk, a 12-year-old boy allegedly died from vaping

In Ussuriysk, an ambulance was called to a child who probably died due to vaping at his home after the mother was unable to wake up her son in the morning, the Primorye Ministry of Health told RIA Novosti.

“At 6 a.m., upon the arrival of the ambulance, biological death was recorded. The parents were at home, the mother could not wake up the child. A vape was found nearby,” the Ministry of Health said.

They clarified that the boy from Ussuriysk was 12 years old. Doctors named vaping as one of the most likely causes of death, noting that the lethal dose of nicotine for an adult and a child is very different.

Psychiatrist and narcologist Larisa Yurkasova noted that the lethal dose of nicotine for a child is 10 mg, and children do not control their nicotine use, which poses a serious danger.
