Electronic cigarettes have rapidly gained popularity over the last few years. Originally touted as alternatives for those wanting to stop smoking regular cigarettes, these products have now been in the spotlight for health concerns of their own.

These devices are essentially cartridges filled with a nicotine solution and a small battery to heat up the solution to make it inhalable. The nicotine used in these solutions is the same nicotine you would find in cigarettes and patches.
Part of the solution used in these vaping devices contains neurotoxins, which are allegedly poisonous when ingested. They are also supposed to be poisonous when inhaled.
