Nicotine in e-liquids and e-cigarettes is a dangerous toxin—particularly for young children.
Determine if the child’s symptoms are caused by nicotine poisoning.

Use models to show why nicotine exposure is more dangerous for a child than an adult. Suggest changes to e-liquids and their packaging to reduce the risk of nicotine poisoning in children. Organize information for a media campaign to reduce the incidence of nicotine poisoning.
