description Electronic cigarettes (referred here as E-cigarettes or vapes) are devices that contain heated nicotine/cannabinol vaporized aerosol solution for consumption. While long-term toxicities of E-cigarettes are unknown, the acute adverse events of vaping that have occurred are concerning. There have been variations of pneumonitis presentations so far, however, very few case reports have been shown to have a complication of a pneumothorax. We hereby present a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumonitis due to vaping.
