I really need to quit vaping and go back to smoking. As dangerous is this extremely concentrated liquid nicotine is smoking is safer.

... 15 ml bottles of e-liquid contain is enough to kill four small children. One swallow can be fatal.

Federal health officials said the nicotine poisoning problem may be underestimated because their research only reports calls to poison control centers and doesn’t include cases where someone called 911 or went directly to the emergency room.

an adult male called complaining of feeling jittery after a vial of liquid nicotine leaked on his pant leg, Marcus said. He was told to remove the pants and clean the area.

a woman who was smoking a device in her car said the vapor made her eyes irritated and she sought treatment at a hospital.

I got a drop on my shoe earlier this week and I just noticed that I have an ingrown toe nail. Do you think that I am ok?

Obviously, your toenail problem must be related to that drop of eliquid on your shoe. Call your Dr. to find out if amputation is indicated and consign your soiled shoe to the nearest toxic waste dump...

The single biggest danger with vaping comes from reading ANTZ literature and trying to make sense out of it. You could end up in the sanitarium.

I spent the first 17 years of my life in South Jersey, and am ashamed by the shrill alarmist tone of that article ...

The people I grew up with had a healthy skepticism of public health announcements. I can only hope their children do the same ...

And WHY do these "journalists" repeatedly refer to vaping as "smoking" ? Did they never take even a basic high school physics class ?

A 21-year-old man from Union County called to say he was not feeling well after smoking an e-cigarette.

I agree with this part. Lighting a PV is never a good idea ...

What a misleading load of crap! Every sentence related to vaping had the verb 'smoke' instead of 'vape'. Poor journalism.

They did, but the focus was on how record cold temperatures are caused by global warming.

Which is caused by cows farting. Which means we need to eat less cow (no, really... saw an article about it).
