The number of young children sickened after getting their little hands on nicotine products like pouches and vape e-liquids has skyrocketed in recent years.

From 2010 through 2023, U.S. poison centers reported 134,663 cases of nicotine poisonings among kids under age 6, according to a study published Monday in Pediatrics, a journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Nearly all occurred at home.

The cases included exposures to nicotine pouches, chewing tobacco, regular cigarettes, vapes and nicotine replacement products like gum and lozenges.

So you claim that it is a lie? If not, then how do those poisonings happen? And how does it contradict with my claim that "make it trivial to consume an arbitrary amount of poison"?

No it's not a lie, learn to read. Stop imagining what other people's arguments are and actually read them.

It contradicts your claim that it's trivial because it's far from trivial, and would require extreme carelessness.

OP's blaming irresponsible parents. I agree.
