Vaping is not the harmless alternative that people imagine because it comes in many flavours and seems like 'fun'. It can cause irreversible lung damage. If you vape, have a yarn to your doctor.Vapes are clouded in misconception ☁️. They contain many of the same toxic and cancer-causing chemicals found in regular cigarettes.

One of these ingredients is diacetyl, used in popcorn flavourings for its buttery taste.

When eaten, diacetyl is usually harmless. But, when inhaled in large amounts, can lead to 'Popcorn Lung' or bronchiolitis obliterans. 🍿🫁

Bronchiolitis obliterans is a rare condition that causes inflammation in the airways, leading to scarring and permanent damage. This can make it hard to breathe, and once occurs, can't be fixed. 😮‍💨

The sooner you put the vape down, the quicker your body can rebound and repair itself. Don't get sucked in – it's not worth it.

If you or someone you know needs support to quit, contact Quitline on 13 78 48, or visit quithq.initiatives.qld.gov.au.

From 10 November to 16 November, we recorded 10,106 new COVID-19 cases.

Sadly, 15 deaths were reported during this time.

As at midnight, 16 November, 245 people were receiving hospital care for COVID-19 (public and private hospitals) and 5 of those were in intensive care (ICU).

91.6% of people aged 16 years are fully vaccinated (two doses). Vaccination statistics are released weekly by the Australian Government Department of Health.
