The story of Florida man, Tom Holloway whose life was put at risk when using an e-cigarette.

1. When Quitting Cigarette Would Mean Losing your Dear Life
You might think that those victims of the faulty hip device that DePuy and Zimmer
manufactured are out of luck. Imagine all of them are in need of hip lawyer because of the hip lawsuit
and hip recall that had been filed against the concerned medical device manufacturers. Though
settlement had been announced such as depuy hip recall lawsuit, I wish them well that justice will be
served.
Another scenario that would pass the classification of misfortune happened to a Florida man
named Tom Holloway of Florida. The man is trying to change his ways be deciding to switch his smoking
habit into e-cigarette, a healthier option. But an imaginable happened; his e-cig blows up, severely
damaging his face and caused him to lose some of his font teeth and blowing off a part of his tongue.
The said device even burns the carpet and the closet where the device landed after exploding.
Holloway of Niceville, Florida had been rushed to USA Burn Center last week and the victim is
recovering at the moment. Doctors said that if the device battery had been pushed back to Holloway’s
throat, then there is a thin chance that he will survive.
The force of the explosion was so strong, causing so much damage to the victim’s face. In fact,
investigators were not able to recover some part of the device to recognize the e-cig’s brand, though the
e-cig lithium battery charger and the extra batteries are in in the authorities’ custody.
This is a big blow to Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association (TVECA). And with that, they
are trying to win back e-cigarette users by stating that Holloway’s case is just an isolated incident.
Granted that their statement is true, still incident like this is bound to happen. Faulty batteries are
actually the real culprit. Other potential reason is defective nicotine-juice.
An e-cig is composed of four basic parts, the atomizer (heating element), a battery, a cartridge
(mouthpiece), and an LED light cover, making the whole package looked like a real lit cigarette.
The usage of electronic cigarette gained approval of chain smokers worldwide who want to at
least alleviate their smoking vice with its claims that e-cig is a safer choice compared to commercial
cigarettes and of course this device isused by many as a stepping stone to totally eradicate smoking.
Indeed e-cigs does not contain ammonia, tar, pesticides and other chemicals. A cigarette contains 4,000

2. chemicals. E-cigs though is not chemical free as it contains nicotine and propylene glycol, which I
believe still scary enough.
