During a Colorado vaping focus group for teens, many young vapers said they had experienced vape tongue, a condition where vape juice desensitizes a person's tongue so they can't taste flavors, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Vape juice ingredients can coat the tongue so taste buds can't receive flavor signals.
Compared to vape-related symptoms like a chronic cough, trouble breathing, and nausea, vape tongue is a lesser-discussed side effect, perhaps because it typically resolves on its own.
No mention of sensory loss. Even for mild COVID cases, that's the most prominent non-respiratory symptom and the most distinct one.
