Hello, this is Beyond Today with me, Tina Dehealy,

a space to ask one big question about one big story.

Today can Vapein kill.

Today, can vaping kill you.

Crembrulae, fruit medley, cotton candy, strawberry and vanilla buttered popcorn.

This sounds like a dessert menu, but it's actually a list of vape flavors and Donald Trump has just said he wants to ban the sale of all non tobacco flavored e-cigarettes in the United States.

Vaping has become a very big business, as I understand it, like a giant business in a very short period of time.

But we can't allow people to get sick and we can't have our youth be so affected.

This follows an outbreak of a vaping-related illness in America that's killed six people and

made 450 ill, including Sima.

My name's Sima Herman I'm from Los Angeles, California. I'm 18 years old and a

photo of me from the hospital went viral. The photo Sima posted on Instagram

shows her lying in a medically induced coma in a hospital bed hooked up to a massive tubes as she was fighting for her life.

She shared it to warn others of the risks she says vaping involves.

One of my worst symptoms were blackouts and around 15 to 20 times a day everything would just start going black for a few seconds and I couldn't see and that happened many times a day.

So I never had breathing issues up until the day before I was in the hospital and they weren't so so bad at that point

but I noticed that it was getting harder and harder to breathe and then I went to sleep that night and the next morning I woke up and I really couldn't breathe on my own.

And I, my mom was already out of the house, so I told my dad,

and he was about to leave for work,

that I need to be taken to the hospital.

And I told my dad, go fast.
