The electronic cigarette could pose serious risks for the safety of its users, and more particularly for those who receive oxygen therapy treatments.
The Montreal public health department warned the population following a serious incident in which the user of an electronic cigarette has turned into a real human torch.
The Quebecer, who must use oxygen, saw his electronic cigarette ignite when he was vaping.
The lithium battery that is contained in the cigarette cartridge can occasionally cause a spark, instantly igniting the oxygen.
This first case identified in Quebec (and Canada) is not the only one, since 25 other similar cases have been identified in the United States and a hundred in Great Britain.
One person has died.
