A Texas man is on life support after an illness his family is blaming on vaping.
Janie Lewis told WFAA that her son, Jaydee Hernandez, 24, first became ill in July.

He went to the hospital because he was throwing up and having a hard time breathing.
Lewis said Hernandez's doctors in the Rio Grande Valley thought it was pneumonia, but he wasn't responding to treatments.
The father of three was flown to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas for more treatments, Lewis told WFAA.
Lewis said doctors now believe vaping is to blame for the illness, and they told the family there is not much more than can do for him.
"The day before he fell ill, he had vaped with THC," Lewis told WFAA. "And I know right now if he was here speaking right now he would warn everybody right now to stop."
