Tot cheats death after swallowing e-cigarette refill

If it had been from a right-wing paper the child would have been described as deprived or underprivileged, the parents as average, the area they live in as 'the working-class suburb of..' and there would have been an interview with the child's parents edited in a way that made them sound both uneducated and incredibly irate, whilst the whole article would have still managed to maintain the theme of anti-ecig

I had 5 minutes spare after doing bedtime, one ecig scandal article a la typical right wing newspaper :D

Illegal immigrant cancer death bottle claimant tot horror: Parents of a child who narrowly escaped death at the hands of an ecigarette warn others of the dangers posed by these so called quitting aids


Mr Bloggs, a family man from the working class suburb of Chelmsley Wood, spoke today of his daughter’s near death experience and the devastating effect the incident has had on their family.


“Chloe was just playing in the kitchen when me and my girlfriend were watching Jeremy Kyle” Said Joe, a factory worker 23.


It wasn’t until his girlfriend discovered their 3 year old sucking on the ecigarette cartridge that Mr Bloggs realised what had happened


"She [his girlfriend] screamed and came running in. We panicked, as any parent would and called an ambulance straight away, I mean nobody really knows what’s in them do they?”


A doctor from the hospital where young Chloe received treatment confirmed Mr Bloggs was right to treat this as a potentially life threatening situation, the cartridges which can contain as much as 72mg of nicotine are extremely dangerous in the hands of small children.


Recent studies show these types of incidents are more likely to occur in less affluent areas, as more and more families on benefits, turn to these devices as a cheaper alternative to other more traditional forms of smoking.


Mr Bloggs, who was given the ecigarette by his neighbor, Mr I Miggrant, origionally of Poland, is now calling for regulation of these killer devices and wants to educate people on the dangers of nicotine poisoning in children. “It’s not right" he said, "these things are dangerous and after looking online I’ve found out nicotine is actually more poisonous than cyanide and arsenic, so I’m no better than when I was smoking”


Plans to regulate ecigarettes are in motion, but it’s only a matter of time until another child is seriously harmed by these, as yet unproven quit aids.
