Warning Issued by Ohio Health Department on Child E-cigarette Injuries

Oct.20.2023
Warning Issued by Ohio Health Department on Child E-cigarette Injuries
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has issued a warning about the increasing number of child e-cigarette-related injuries.

According to a report by WOIO on October 19th, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has issued a warning due to an increase in cases of children being harmed by e-cigarettes. Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, Director of ODH, stated that the number of reported incidents of e-cigarette liquid exposure reported to the Ohio Poison Center has nearly doubled since 2015.

He stated that most of these injuries affect children aged 5 and below, with various forms of harm including swallowing e-cigarette liquid, inhaling smoke, and absorption through the skin or eyes.


According to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), symptoms of exposure to e-cigarette liquid may include mild nausea and vomiting. However, in cases of heavy exposure, it may have an impact on heart rate or blood pressure, and can potentially lead to seizures.


I believe many Ohioans are unaware of these very real risks, and I hope that individuals with e-cigarette items at home realize the potential dangers they pose to children.

Tennessee’s “Tobacco Product Retail Licensing Act” Would Require New Licenses for Tobacco and Vapes
Tennessee’s “Tobacco Product Retail Licensing Act” Would Require New Licenses for Tobacco and Vapes
A newly introduced Tennessee bill, S.B. 2086, would create a statewide tobacco product retail licensing system, move oversight to the Tennessee Alcohol Commission, and impose fees and escalating penalties. The proposal also requires all tobacco product sales to occur as in-person, over-the-counter transactions at licensed locations—effectively banning direct-to-consumer shipping of cigars and potentially restricting curbside or phone-order pickup models.

The plaintiffs argue the law violates the U.S. Constitution because only Congress may regulate foreign commerce.

Nebraska Lawmakers Consider Major Tax Hikes on Cigarettes, Vapes and Other Nicotine Products
Nebraska lawmakers are considering two tax bills targeting nicotine products. LB1124 would raise the cigarette tax from $0.64 to $1.64 per pack, while LB1238 would shift cigarettes to a 30% tax on the retailer’s purchase price and increase taxes on alternative nicotine and other tobacco products to 30%. The commentary argues the hikes could raise consumer costs, pressure small retailers, and increase cross-border shopping and illicit market activity.
