TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Electronic cigarette toxicity JO - Journal of primary care and community health A1 - Payne, J. Drew A1 - Michaels, David A1 - Orellana-Barrios, Menfil A1 - Nugent, Kenneth SP - 100 EP - 102 VL - 8 IS - 2 N2 - Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are often advertised as a healthier product when compared with traditional cigarettes. Currently, there are limited data to support this and only a threat of federal regulation from the US Food and Drug Administration. Calls to poison control centers about e-cigarette toxicity, especially in children, and case reports of toxic exposures have increased over the past 3 years. This research letter reports the frequency of hazardous exposures to e-cigarettes and characterizes the reported adverse health effects associated with e-cigarette toxicity.
