\"NICOTINE-articleLarge\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saw this article splattered all over the Internet today. Scary.<\/p>\n

Liquid nicotine, completely unregulated by the way, is one of the main ingredients of e-cigarettes. It’s extremely potent and dangerous in its concentrated liquid form and can kill kids if they get their hands on it and start drinking it. The New York Times,<\/a>\u00a0and USA Today<\/a>\u00a0 had articles on this today.<\/p>\n

There were more than 1,300 reported poisonings from liquid nicotine in 2013, according to the New York Times, a 300 percent increase from 2012. That number is expected to double in 2014. The vast majority of these involved children 4 and under. (Interestingly, one of these poisonings involved an e-cig that broke while a woman was asleep and she absorbed the nicotine concentrate through her skin. Man, that is some powerful stuff.)<\/p>\n

Again, an incredibly, potent, powerful drug … and completely unregulated at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the wild, wild west right now,\u201d said Chip Paul, chief executive officer of Palm Beach Vapors, a company based in Tulsa, Okla., that operates 13 e-cigarette franchises nationwide and plans to open 50 more this year. \u201cEverybody fears F.D.A.\u00a0regulation, but honestly, we kind of welcome some kind of rules and regulations around this liquid.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
