If you have an e cig from smokintime you might want to make sure to keep an eye on it when it's charging. Recent article mentions one catching fire. Also a friendly reminder...keep eliquid away and out of the reach of children. This article also mentions kids accidentally getting into eliquid is quickly on the rise.

How many smokers burned their houses down with a lit cig. Come on, people. Stupid is as stupid does. Don't blame the device, blame the user.

We will never, ever be able to fix stupid. And stupid is what will ruin us.

it's almost impressive how uncommon common sense is. also, this reporter stinks on ice with their use of sensational percentages and the ole "including an ingredient used in anti-freeze" malarkey. i guess this person didn't bother to research what other consumable products contain PG, like mio water enhancer and asthma inhalers.

Well, chargers will fIl from time to time and over current a battery. I don't see this as newsworthy really. As for peoples kids getting i to their ejuice, two thoughts. First, that'll only happen once; talk a out getting sick and having a burning mouth and throat. Second, if you aren't smart enough to keep your addictive toxins out of reach of children, perhaps you deserve neither your addictive toxin or your children? Jesus, what the .... happened to the days where people were held accountable for their mistakes? Poison your kids through negligence? Go to jail, and get a new nickname; prison ...... And no one felt bad for you...one of the only good things about the 80's.

Welcome to today's America, Technohydra.

The American Cancer Society said e-cigarettes have not been approved by the FDA for use to quit smoking. Experts add that no evidence exists to show they even help people quit smoking.

Really!! I guess the "Experts" haven't looked around ECF!!!

i'd also like to add that going from 9 to 40 kids in a region is not a quick rise. it's a sensational percentage increase, but in terms of how many children are in that region, it's like a handful of sand when you're at the beach.

WERD!

LOL in the 50's they would have had a cig hanging out of their mouths...I could tell you what my childhood was like but the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet.

Yes. The '80's. When we had spring-loaded toy missiles that could choke us. Slime goo! And my elementary school playground was wrought iron and steel and concrete tubes. The slide was stainless and burnt your legs the whole way down. Good luck if you fell off the see-saw. I remember being a "Goonie" with my friends and riding our bikes to the most furthest Lord-of-the-Rings-type nowhere/anywhere (I grew up on Ft. Myers Beach, FLA, a small, comma-shaped island), someplace you'd never been and you just kept on going. No one ever got hurt. There were close calls, I can remember, but in the end it was nothing but adventure after adventure. Bugs. Slime. Adults. Bums. Surfers. Mangrove islands. Manatees. I'm getting misty eyed going down memory lane... All kids these days have to day is video games. And that satisfies them. I weep for the upcoming generation.

Ok, I'm done posting in ECF for today, goodnight, everyone.

When I was a kid (back in the 1960"s) we made mud pies...and sometimes ate 'em, lol
Nothing happened to us.
We fell off the monkey bars and bikes occasionally (I still have a scar where I cut my foot on some glass when I was around 6 years old)..but if we got hurt we just went home and Ma fixed us up. If it was bad the friends went and told the parents and we got carted off to the hospital for a cast or whatever....nobody sued over it. Afterward, we did get The Lecture about being safe from our parents, though.
We were taught (and it was enforced) that when you went to visit someone you did not touch anything unless you were told you could.
There wasn't any temper tantrums in the store because there would be no going bye - bye the next time Mom or Dad went shopping...and I always wanted to go bye - bye, lol
Back then there was a thing called Common Sense...danged if I know what happened to it.
Seriously nowadays, some folks act like they couldn't find their own behinds with both hands and a flashlight.
Stuff that would have made my parents go "whaaaa...?!"

I'm sorry this is propaganda at its finest. I have read the same drivel for the past 4 years. Parents should keep their eliquid/vaping accessories out of the reach of children/pets and anyone who has a impairment (such as older folks with dementia). Common sense prevails.
