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.

No it's not a lie, learn to read. Stop imagining what other people's arguments are and actually read them. Read. Stop watching slop. Only read. Read and understand. Never listen - only read. The written word has meaning - the spoken is slop, this is very obvious if you do lots of psychedelics.

As to my claim - It contradicts your claim that it's trivial because it's far from trivial, and would require extreme carelessness. Yes I cited a UK, not US example, but a lot of the same things are in place there though not as enforced and not as consistent between state laws, but nonetheless these things are generally speaking massively produced, and will be designed to comply in all markets as much as possible.
