- E-nicotine poisoning can happen when the liquid in e-cigarettes is swallowed. But kids can also get sick just from breathing in the vapor, splashing the liquid on their skin or getting it in their eyes.
- E-nicotine is sold in various sizes, from 10 ml (2 teaspoons) to 30 ml (6 teaspoons). Even as little as half a teaspoon of liquid nicotine can be lethal to a young child, and a smaller amount can make them sick enough for a trip to the ER.
