Paul Danan, a well-known soap star, recently shared a frightening experience he had due to his vaping addiction. The 45-year-old actor, who rose to fame on Hollyoaks in the late 90s and early 2000s, collapsed last month and was rushed to the hospital. It was a touch-and-go moment for Paul as he had to receive CPR to be revived.
In an interview with The Sun, Paul described the incident as a "miracle" that he is still alive. He recounted how he had been puffing away on his vape when suddenly he lost his breath and collapsed. His family immediately called for an ambulance and started performing CPR before the paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital. Paul was then placed on a machine in the ICU and was diagnosed with pneumonia. His loved ones were told to prepare for the worst, but luckily, Paul pulled through.
According to Paul, the doctors revealed that his collapse was caused by his e-cigarette habit. They warned him that if he ever smokes again, he could end up needing an oxygen tank for the rest of his life. This was a harsh reality check for Paul, who had started smoking several years ago but believed that vaping was a safer alternative.
Despite initially thinking that vaping was a "healthier" way to smoke, Paul's addiction to vapes eventually "pushed him over the edge." He had become so hooked on them that he even went to bed holding one at night, attracted by the fun flavors and the misconception that they were safer. However, just like cigarettes, vapes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can lead to chronic lung disease, asthma, and cardiovascular disease.
While some experts claim that vaping is less harmful than smoking, the NHS warns that it is not completely harmless and should only be used as a transition to quitting smoking completely. Paul, who found comfort in his vape, is now determined to warn others, especially young people, about the dangers of this habit. He is particularly worried about the increasing trend of young people vaping and how difficult it will be for them to quit due to the sugary flavors and nicotine.
Aside from his role in Hollyoaks, Paul is also known for his appearances on shows like Love Island, Celebrity Big Brother, and Celebrity Coach Trip. However, his partying lifestyle at the height of his fame led to struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. But after being sober for over three years, Paul has made significant changes in his life and is excited to see what the future holds for his career.
He considers his near-death experience as a wake-up call and is now in a much better place mentally. Paul is eager to get back into performing, particularly in theater roles. He is grateful to have a second chance and is determined to make the most out of it.
