Let’s make it simpler. If a toddler weighing 5 kilograms ingests a cup of coffee, the risk of death is minuscule. But if the same toddler were to ingest a single cigarette (I.e eat it), the toddler will almost certainly die without timely medical intervention.
If you read the Wikipedia page I’d previously linked to[1], it has this quote: “58% of e-cigarette calls to US poison control centers were related to children 5 years old or less.”
I’d personally witnessed a tragedy like this in my neighborhood many years ago, and because of that, I don’t let people come with packs of cigarettes into my house, because I’ve got a toddler.
