1. Kills?

no, burned, which is bad, but the child is alive.

P.S. Cigarettes kill thousands every year.

2. I think everyone under the sun

would rather have people harmlessly puffing on e-cigarettes than polluting the air.

3. Who died in this incident? nt

4. I think I'd be conscious of where I left it at night, like maybe in a bucket

so the coil doesn't set the house on fire, but I'd still rather people suck in nicotine steam than fuck up the air with tobacco smoke.

Nicotine still does terrible things to the cardiovascular system, so it's better to quit. E cigs hav actually helped people to quit by tapering them down slowly, so I have to recommend them for people who would like to quit.

Besides, it sounds like the failures are pretty rare and injuries are even rarer.

5. I charge mine in a battery bag

that is explosion and fire proof. The bag cost $8.00. I encourage all my vaping friends to get one.

6. Are these things dangerous?

I posted it because it was shocking.

10. Any electronic device can be dangerous

Any battery can be dangerous. If you take the proper precautions, follow the directions and use and charge them correctly IMHO they are no more dangerous than any other electronic device. I have never had any problems with mine.

7. Thoughtless title. That could (and has) happen with a lot of different kinds of batteries.
