Calls to poison centers about e-cigarettes rise dramatically
New CDC study finds more than half involve young children
The number of calls per month involving conventional cigarettes did not show a similar increase during the same time period.
A CDC study published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report showed that more than half (51.1 percent) of those calls involved young children under age 5. Approximately 42 percent of the poison calls involved people age 20 and older.
