I read somewhere that a kid eating a few butts could die. Probably someone that small eating an entire cigarette may be in toxic trouble. So ecig juice is as toxic as, say, any household pesticide or mouse killer, what a surprize.

You do realize that cigarette butts contain thousands of chemicals, many of which are the result of combustion. To conclude from that (assuming it isn't just an old wive's tale) that ecig juice is as toxic as household pesticide or mouse killer, is a leap of Carl Lewis proportions. Look at the Meyer study from Ganz. Conventional wisdom of nicotine toxicity levels is derived from a never challenged 100 year old wild-a**-guess, and is off by at least a factor of 10.

Right. I was trying to make the point that tobacco itself can be a toxic plant, like many solanacea.

I don’t think the butts killing kids is a real fact, but it comes up all the time.
