In other news, tot escapes death after drinking a/b/c from a kitchen cupboard, or choking on a pen etc etc.

What fucks me off, is why are people so stupid as to leave stuff lying around for kids to get their hands on.

More scare tactics by the mirror / mail again, It's fuckwits like this reporter that give vaping a bad name. The eliquid maker didn't leave it there for the child to get did they? nope. Pure and utter negligence by the partents, Most modern eliquids sport the child compliant caps so this sort of thing doesn't happen. Think the reported needs to go drink bleach and stop the genepool from expanding, Moron.

Accidents happen, and all's well that ends well. The child came to no harm, and the hospital staff did the job that they are paid for.
I found it to be a bit of a strange article though, with barely enough information for a curious reader to reach any kind of conclusion. If, just for the heck of it, you remove the phrase "e-cigarette" the offending object sounds more like a refill for an NRT inhaler device than anything to do with vaping.

“Some refills have screw-cap type lids and others simply snap into the e-cigarette and are a lot safer,” ???? I've never seen, nor heard of a device like this.

I wonder how many children, in say the last 6 months or so, have ingested a variety of common household chemicals and been hospitalised as a result?

Should household bleach only be sold in 10ml bottles?

Do we really need stringent regulations on every little thing with even the slightest potential for harm or should parents perhaps take responsibility for ensuring that their children don`t have access to these things?

Cosmetics result in vastly more cases, annually , than nicotine products do and there`s no call for them to be made childproof is there?
A bottle of Vodka isn`t required to have a childproof cap either, nor is a packet of Cigarettes.

For fucking fuck's sake! Choking on a foreign body is the fucking risky business in this scenario. Nicotine poisoning and e-cigarettery has fucking fuck all to do with it.

Clearly we now need to ban all small objects.

Won`t somebody think of the children.

Except some parents, they don`t need to as long there are rules to ban anything even slightly potentially harmful.


I`m saying this as the parent of a 7 year old who has not managed to ingest anything they shouldn`t have as:

a) They`ve been brought up not to put strange objects in their mouths

b) When they were too young to know better they damn sure didn`t have access to them and still don`t.

Accidents will always happen but they can be controlled by reasonable parenting rather than yet more legislation.
