20 Pupils Left Ill After A 12-Year-Old Nicotine Addict Girl Passes On NHS-Prescibed Anti-Smoking Nasal Spray To Them

A 12-year-old girl has left 20 other pupils ill after she passed on her anti-smoking spray to them. The spray was precribed to the girl by the NHS on account of her addiction to cigarettes.

The school of the concerned girl was made aware of the fact that she had been prescribed with a nicotine mouth spray before she passed on the dispenser to a group of Year 7 and Year 8 pupils while having lunch with them. The incident is said to have left all 20 students violently-ill.

Just after the incident took place, the parents of the concerned girl at the Wolstanton High School in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffs, started to receive calls from the school authorities about the affected children requiring immediate treatment. The baffled parents were informed that the children at the school have fallen sick after ingesting the prescribed anti-smoking spray.

The affected children started feeling dizziness, vomiting and headache soon after consumption of the spray. Reportedly, one of the affected students required an immediate hospital treatment.

According to the school principal, Alan Alston, the girl who passed on the anti-smoking dispenser to her fellow pupils has been “disciplined” since the incident has happened. He also added that the incident was a “one-off” and that the teachers at school immediately informed the parents about what exactly happened during the incident.

“We already have procedures in place to protect pupils but unfortunately this was a prank that went wrong,” said Alston, reported The Mirror.

“All of our pupils are under 16 and smoking is illegal, which we take very seriously. What happened with this case was a pupil followed our advice and went on an NHS course. The spray was prescribed and brought into the school in a regrettable incident,” he continued.

According to The Mirror, one of the affected children was released from the hospital within four hours of undergoing an ECG at the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
