Reports of children consuming poisonous liquid from e-cigarettes rose sharply in Minnesota last year, prompting health officials to warn that the state may be facing a new public health hazard.

Only one child was hospitalized as a result of consuming the nicotine-laced liquid, but the total number of cases — 50 — was a tenfold increase over 2012, the Minnesota Department of Health said Tuesday.

“We really want parents to know that this liquid nicotine can pose a fatal risk and that they should store it out of the reach of children,” said Dr. Ed Ehlinger, state health commissioner.

The increase tracks the growing popularity of e-cigarettes, battery-powered cartridges that heat up flavored liquid and produce an inhaled nicotine vapor. Many e-cigarette users, or “vapers,’’ use them as a lower-nicotine alternative to cigarettes, or as a bridge to quitting cigarettes altogether. One in five smokers had tried e-cigarettes in 2011, twice as many as a year earlier, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Of the 50 cases reported by Minnesota Poison Control, 14 resulted in trips to hospital emergency rooms and one required treatment in intensive care. The cases involved children and teens up to age 19, but the majority — 36 — involved children age 3 or younger.
“We think of concentrated nicotine as a very serious poison, equivalent to dangerous prescription drugs,” said Stacey Bangh, clinical supervisor of the poison center, which is located at Hennepin County Medical Center.

The report on poisoning cases also comes amid a legislative debate over whether to expand the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act to apply to e-cigarettes, meaning they couldn’t be used in workplaces, bars and other public indoor spaces.
Such a change, however, would not do anything to protect children from the small vials that contain e-cigarette liquid. Matt Black, president of the Minnesota Vapers advocacy group, said that risk would be better addressed by a requirement that all such vials be sold with childproof caps.

“I take the same precautions with my liquids as I did with my cigarettes,” said Black, whose daughter is 13. “[Keep] them up on high shelves if you have small kids, or hidden if you have older kids.”
Most e-cigarette vials already have safety caps, but they are not required by state or federal law. Ehlinger said he would support efforts to increase child-resistant packaging.
Gentle hint by Hekvapor: after vaping, remember to keep your vaping gear away & beyond your baby's reach. So that you can vape without any troubles.
