"We've seen kids drinking the vaping liquid, inhaling the vapes, being hospitalised, even dying overseas, and they can cause long-term harms.""It can lead to death. That's the important thing to say first and foremost, particularly in children, very young children."Chemicals in vapes include materials found in week killer and nail polish, one expert said.
Nicotine poisoning can lead to a burning sensation in the mouth and the throat, headaches, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, high heart rate, convulsions and unconsciousness."There are things like chemicals found in e-cigarettes also found in weed killer and nail polish," Demaio said. "These are not things we want to have in our lungs or in the lungs of kids who whose body is still developing."
