Dogsey

Poor dog - remote controls are another thing to watch for, the batteries.

Well let's face it lots of articles that are not meant to be ingested can be very dangerous if they are in fact ingested.

I'm sure a dog wouldn't do too well if it had chewed up a packet of fags, a packet of strong painkillers, sleeping pills, alcohol and, as often mentioned choklit.

Why this one particular item is singled out as if people would have thought they were OK for dogs to eat I don't know. Obviously if a dog did ingest any of the poisonous things it would be by accident, not design. Someone not realising they'd left it or dropped it where the dog could get it.

Here's a case from earlier this year where another dog died after eating nicotine refills.

Drinking the e-liquid would have killed the owner too.

The liquid is not meant for drinking.

A tragic accident

Exactly Chris. Much the same as the tragic accidents where young children drink bleach or similar cleaning products because they haven't been put up out of reach.

I suspect it's because e-cigs are in the spotlight anyway. Great controversy as to whether they work and whether or not they cause harm.
Plus of course they are doing the government out of a lot of revenue.
Anything to harm their reputation!!
