Pneumothorax as a sequela of vaping is a relatively recent complication being described in the literature. Smoking has classically been associated with an increased risk of pneumothorax, and emerging evidence is showing that electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes) likely carry some of the same risks. Since e‐cigarettes increased in popularity, especially among the adolescent population, there has been a reported increased incidence of lung injury, including pneumothorax. We present a case of a 15‐year‐old female with a history of e‐cigarette use admitted for recurrent pneumothorax with failure to re‐expand requiring surgical intervention.
