The recent case of Frederick Ireland-Rose, who died after vaping an illicit substance, has led to a coroner's warning regarding the dangers of nitazene, a synthetic opioid that may be 20 times more potent than fentanyl. The assistant coroner highlighted that many vape users might unknowingly ingest this dangerous substance. The report cautioned that the variable potency of substances inhaled through vaping increases the risk of overdose, pointing out the lack of accessibility to life-saving antidotes like naloxone for users unaware of these risks.
