Explosions of E-cigarettes Cause Tire Damage for Australian Drivers
Several Australian drivers have had their car tires punctured by discarded e-cigarettes, prompting trips to repair shops.

According to a report by British media Dailymail on November 15th, the increasing number of e-cigarettes being improperly discarded on the streets has resulted in multiple incidents of punctured car tires in Australia, forcing drivers to visit auto repair shops.

 

Mark Hely, a resident of eastern Sydney, has recently witnessed four incidents where e-cigarette batteries caused tires to burst.
