cigarette explosions are so severe that patients need multiple skin grafts

Dr. Kevin Foster, chief of burn services at the Arizona Burn Center, said some explosions are so severe that patients need multiple skin grafts. Some e-cigarette explosions occur when people are igniting the device while other explosions occur when the e-cigarette battery explodes in a user’s pant pocket. In one instance, a 17-year-old said she spent three weeks at the burn center and underwent three surgeries and skin grafts after her e-cigarette exploded when she ignited the device.

Electronic cigarettes, powered by lithium-ion batteries, produce a heated vapor of liquid nicotine which the smoker inhales. E-cigarette products are popular among people who want to quit smoking and teenagers.
