E-Cigarettes
« on: August 01, 2012, 10:17:24 PM »
Has anybody had any reports of fires / uwfs caused by E-cigarettes? trying to get a balanced view on whether they are an acceptable risk in a hospital (Bedding-piped oxygen/ L1 detection).
I must admit i know absolutely nothing about them bar a quicj search on the net  so all views valued  ;D

If you can smoke them on planes I doubt very much there is a serious risk.

They are battery powered, I can think of many more risks to concentrate on.
