Smart parents are increasingly turning to electronic cigarettes to dump their smoking habit. “E–cigs” are not only effective, they benefit the little ones by eliminating harmful second hand smoke along the way. Instead, they emit a water vapor solution which dissipates within seconds.
However, like all nicotine products they should be handled with care to keep your children, pets and even adults safe from potentially harmful consequences.We have gathered together the best tips for proper disposal, storage and usage of your electronic cigarettes and accessories.
With their brightly colored cartridges and LED battery tips, electronic cigarettes could look like toys to young children. Electronic cigarette cartridges and fluid contain nicotine. Nicotine is classified as a poison and could cause serious harm to a child, pet or even an adult if enough is ingested. Storing refill fluid, cartridges, and other accessories in a hard-to-reach place is one of the best actions a parent can take to keep their family safe.
Tips:
- Store all electronic cigarette equipment in a safe place out of reach of children and pets.
- Seek medical advice immediately if you are worried about nicotine poisoning.
- Don’t leave your car charger plugged in when children are in the car
- Leave wall chargers unplugged when not in use
- Dispose of nicotine fluid and cartridges carefully. Place them in a resealable container like a soda bottle so small children cannot remove them from the garbage.
- If you don’t want your children to be tempted, don’t talk about how cool your new electronic cigarette is in front of them. Also, don’t brag about your new chocolate flavored cartridge (or cherry, vanilla, apple, etc.). What kid wouldn’t want to vaporize chocolate?
