"Man Suffers Severe Injuries After E-Cigarette Explodes In
His Mouth. Burn Victim Is Vet Who Served In Vietnam. On
its website, ABC News (2/16,
Conley) notes that 57-year-old Vietnam vet Tom Holloway is recovering at a burn
center in Florida,
"after suffering severe injuries from an electric cigarette that exploded
in his mouth." Chief Butch Parker of the North Bay Fire District
"said the explosion knocked out all Holloway's teeth and part of his
tongue." ABC News adds, "E-cigarettes are currently not regulated by
the FDA."
It will be easy to remember this potentially significant adverse effect when I advise patients..."E" for explosion.
Poor guy!
