What exactly does this have to do with vaping?
The most important way this is related to vaping is that we need to know the facts about things like this, because some of our political representatives will use a case of nicotine poisoning as justification for trying to pass legislation that makes it illegal for you to buy e-liquid. Yes, that's stupid...it's also true.
Many things in excess and extreme amounts can be deadly.
Here's a news story about somebody who died after drinking too much water. Why don't the ignorant anti-vaping people actually do something useful with their time and start a campaign to ban the potentially deadly and dangerous substance known as H20? Good luck to them with that.

What's sad is there was this young mom who participated in a water drinking contest held by a radio station in hopes of winning a video game system for her kids. She didn't win, but she died a day later from water intoxication.
The government is not interested in an excise tax or sin tax on water or Tylenol or grape juice or vitamins, friend.If you drink enough water in large enough quantities, it is toxic as well. So should water be outlawed?

...I find this thread title to be deceptive.
It should read more like:
"1994 murder by nicotine poisoning"
Drinking water is not a "sin." It would be hard for the pols to build a school by taxing water. Good post though [emoji212]Many things in excess and extreme amounts can be deadly.

Its not a first!!!
Im in the legal professsion and a true-crime buff so have been watching true crime stories for YEARS (ID discovery shows,movies,docs, whatever is available) and I can definitely recall a similar case several years back.I think it was also the husband doing away with the wife(coulda been vice-versa) but it was most certainly done with liquid nicotine...I remember finding it pretty original at the time...It was BV "before vaping", very few people had too many good reasons to have or want liquid nic around at the time!
Now detractors will be using it as another excuse to vilify vaping and point out how dangerous it is to have stuff like that around the house,kids etc.
It doesnt actually take a lot of nic to kill a full size human. Depends on the percentage. They have 99% nic available. 1 drop would do it.
But in terms of deaths, a 1 year old died just (a year maybe) ago from Eliquid....
Yea this is it. Paul Curry. A former Jeapordy champion.

well lets tally up the score.
1 death by suicide,1 death by murder and one possible death
by poisoning. this i believe is in the last twenty to twenty five years
in the USA. this is a stellar record.
mean while since 1998;NSAID's:
"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone." (Singh Gurkirpal, MD, “Recent Considerations in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Gastropathy”, The American Journal of Medicine, July 27, 1998, p. 31S)
