🦷🚫 Think vaping is harmless? Think again! Meet Stacey Gardiner, a Swansea blogger, who’s spent a whopping £17,200 over nine years on vapes. Starting back in 2017, she never imagined this habit would leave her with two black front teeth! 💰😱
Stacey started vaping after vape shops began to pop up everywhere. She was going through 600-puff vapes like there was no tomorrow—sometimes using one in just a day! Fast forward a few years, and Stacey noticed a small black mark on her tooth, which soon spread to both front teeth. She eventually quit the habit, realising it was just that—a habit, not something she enjoyed.
Despite using Nicorette patches from her GP, nothing seemed to help kick the urge until she decided to go cold turkey. After leaving the dentist’s office with no solutions for her blackened teeth, she took matters into her own hands and purchased a £200 set of clip-in veneers to bring back her confidence and smile.
Stacey’s story is a wake-up call, highlighting the lesser-known effects vaping can have on your dental health. 🚭😬 She feels there’s not enough awareness about the dangers of vaping on teeth, as the focus is often on lung health. Young people are starting to vape earlier and could face similar issues if this continues unchecked.
