    Medical documentation photographs from a University of Washington Medical Center case report published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2016), showing severe burn and blast injuries sustained from e-cigarette explosions. The images depict two anatomical areas — a thigh/leg and a hand/wrist — with extensive thermal and blast trauma. These clinical photographs were part of a study covering 15 patients treated between October 2015 and June 2016.

    If a picture is worth a thousand words...Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
    Especially with electronic-cigarettes (e-cigs). Lost in the haze about any health hazards to e-cig users, there are smoldering safety issues to consider.
    There have been explosions and small fires attributed to the devices, either due to some type of battery malfunction, overheating or detonation (Courtesy photo provided upon agreement from New England Journal of Medicine).
