Hello, all.
I just wanted to throw this out there as I think it's in everyone's best interest.
I would strongly encourage ALL re-sellers of e-liquid/juice/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to sell only bottles with child safety caps on it. And, I would encourage all buyers to also encourage their store(s) of choice to do the same.
It's being pro-active about the (seemingly) little things like this that will help send the message that this is a responsible industry and that can't hurt as the battle heats up. It's in the buyer and the sellers interest for personal vaporizers to remain readily available to those *responsible* adults who choose to use the product.
Not to mention, it's just the right thing to do. Nicotine is an extremely toxic substance that is readily absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream. And, for a child, the amount of nicotine needed to be toxic (and fatal) can be as little as a cigarettes worth, a half a piece of nicotine gum, biting into a nicotine patch, etc. juice having concentrated nicotine getting on the skin of a toddler has an extremely high potential for being toxic or even fatal.
Now, of course we should all be responsible and keep our juice out of the reach of our children, etc... but, accidents do happen and kids can be mischievous. Nothing is 100% avoidable, but a certain amount of common sense, along with proper and necessary firewalls will go a long way in minimizing the risk, as well as promoting responsible use, buying, selling, etc.
I'm not even sure how many people realize just how extremely toxic nicotine is, how easily it can be absorbed through the skin, and just how small an amount can be easily fatal for toddlers and small children.
I'm all for paying an extra .50 cents or whatever for an appropriate storage vessel for my juice. Something as toxic as nicotine should not be stored in a bottle that is opened easier than a bottle of soda.
It is responsible, which will have direct and indirect benefits, and it is necessary in my opinion.
thanks, for your time. Sorry if this is a repeat or something. Haven't come across it.
Later.
