Interestingly enough, this hotline was up and running long before nicotine was available in non-tobacco forms. This proves that there are other poisonous substances that can poison you and kill you and poisonings were common enough to create a nationwide hotline. OTC and prescription medications are at the top of the list for calls to the poison control hotline. These medications are NEVER singled out as being dangerous because, if used other than directed, they can kill you. If you set out to find something bad, you will find it, even if it takes unrealistic methods. Using this method of thinking, and the fact that there were 722 cycling related deaths in the USA in 2012, I can safely say that cycling is more dangerous that e-cigarettes and their associated products.

Many of us unknowingly ingest nicotine every day. It is naturally present in many of the vegetables that we eat.
