It’s been a more common issue these days than not, that we
recues parents of responsibility for what their children encounter in this
world, and blame the entities that provide certain products or services for the
lack of parental oversight. Kid crashes a bike without a helmet? Blame the
bicycle company. Child is unhealthy because of their diet? It must be the fault
of the fast food restaurant. Boys and girls failing finishing their homework
and falling behind in school? It must be the instructors fault.
Our industry, being a newer industry, has been open to much
greater scrutiny for the issues faced by consumer of nicotine juice. And to an
extent, rightfully so. Wouldn’t you be worried if poison cases in your industry
increased by 219% year-over-year? Of course! And we are too. That’s why we’re
writing.
First, let’s clear something up about nicotine poisoning.
It’s not going to kill you. It’s not going to kill you kids. It’s not going to
kill anyone. It may make a human sick, woozy, and incredibly uncomfortable, but
they’re going to live. Yes, even the little ones.
Second, an increase of 219% is an increase to only a couple
of hundred cases a year. It’s not a pandemic, regardless what certain legislators
and media outlets would like you to believe. Your kids are thousands of times
more likely to get the flu than they are to be poisoned by your e-juice, and
some of the symptoms are pretty similar.
Third, now that we have a general idea of the sickness
associated with nicotine poisoning, let’s debunk the big misconception: How
it’s happening. Nicotine poisoning is not something that is going to occur via
vaping. The amount of nicotine vapor a person will have to ingest to become
poisoned by the vapor is astounding. Keep in mind, many of the people who’ve
switched to vaping smoked packs of cigarettes a day.
So then how’re people, kids included, getting poisoned?
They’re ingesting straight e-juice out of the bottle. That’s how. Kids are
getting a hold of bottles that are not properly secured, and as we know, not
every grown up person makes grown up decisions.
Well, Mr. Vape Shop, what’s the solution to the minuet
increase in nicotine poisonings then, if you’re so clever?
Good question!
The solution to the increase in nicotine poisonings is to
store your juices in the same places you should be storing your medicines, out
of the reach of children! And maybe hidden from otherwise less thoughtful
adults.
But that’s not it. We understand that without regulation,
some juice makers make subpar bottles that can be accessed by younger people
that shouldn’t be allowed access. They’re what we call “Chinese Juices”,
because they’re made in China .
If you want a secondary security measure to keep your kids safe, aside from
putting your nicotine juice in a place out of the reach of children, buy juices
made here in the United
States . You’re going to get a quality juice,
and another safety mechanism to keep your kids safe!
Think it through, and act accordingly. At the end of the
day, you need to be responsible for your actions and decisions.
Sincerely,
The Vape Shop
