Howdy friends, I am back to tell you all about a new podcast from Wondry called The Vaping Fix.

If you or anyone you know has ever used in E-Segra, you're gonna want to hear this.

The story starts back in 2018 with college sophomore Jean-Luca Barakia.

He was just minding his business, studying in his dorm room when suddenly, he struggled to breathe.

His lungs felt like they were on fire, and with his last few breaths, he asked his roommate to call 911.

As he was rushed to the hospital and ER doctors were trying to help him, they demanded he tell him what drugs he was using.

In a day, his Jean-Luca promise he didn't use any drugs, just a jewel.

But what he didn't realize was inside that jewel was an addictive drug.

The Vaping Fix hosted by Laura Biel and the team behind Dr. Death and Bad Batch is the shocking story

of how the E-Segra company jewel set out to help lifetime smokers quit, but instead managed to hook a new generation of young people.

I'm about to play all the preview of The Vaping Fix while you're listening, go ahead and follow The Vaping Fix on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast,

or as always, you can also listen early and add free by starting your free trial of Wondry Plus in the Wondry app.

Y'all enjoy.

It was a rainy day in Orangeburg, New York in 2018.

Jean-Luca Berekia was hanging out in his college dorm room between classes.

An Italian flag hung on the wall above his bed as a homage to his Italian family back in Connecticut.

North Haven is all Italians, so most of them are actually from the same area in Italy.

So, everyone always says when they see me around town, who am I not related to?

Jean-Luca was a sophomore nursing major. His courses and exams could be intense, but today he felt unusually tired.

And just not really myself, like I didn't really have much energy in me to do anything that day.

And it felt almost like I had a cold too.

There was a heaviness in his lungs.
