Vaping has been marketed as a safe alternative to smoking, although it poses a potential risk of stroke and other serious diseases. Veronica Tomor shares her personal family experiences with stroke which led her to become a crusader against vaping, starting with her own children who decided to quit on their own. Veronica Tomor, holds a doctoral degree in Pharmacy, is a Clinical Pharmacist and has worked in the medical field for three decades focused in cardiovascular and neurovascular disease. Most recently, she’s worked in stroke, particularly hemorrhagic stroke, responsible for education, training, and research within the medical division of a global pharmaceutical company.
Veronica’s personal journey with stroke began with her brother, late sister, and mother. All had strokes in the past few years and the common denominator was smoking.
As a mom of two teenagers and a young adult, she was in shock when she found vaping devices in their backpacks by accident one day. This discovery led her efforts to help her kids quit vaping and fueled her passion to become a crusader against e-cigarettes in youth.
She produced a documentary on her stroke journey and has been a featured speaker with the AHA/ ASA, Parents Against Vaping (PAVE) and is a patient advocate for the Florida Stroke Registry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Great job, Veronica!! You crushed it! It was an absolute honor to contribute to your TEDx journey.
People who vape need to see this, hear this. It is worse because of the way it is delivered and the amount of nicotine he delivers.
I recently had a stroke. I’m not
Old. I chain vaped for years and it finally caught up.
This is very very real and it’s far more dangerous than cigs
Oh my! I hope you share this talk far and wide and talk about the dangers.
Me too. Scary
Great video 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
"We are at a critical intersection of change."
I love it ❤❤❤
@1:30 I vividly remember both flying on an airplane as a young child and being in a hospital bed with smoker's smoke seeping into my seat and room respectively. It's crazy to think we thought this was okay then and how now some think vaping is better for you.
True a lot of kids these days vape thinking its cool
And their 15 year old brain missed the DANGER part of it!
