Are e-cigarettes harmful to pets? Eating an e-cigarette or cigarette bottle may cause cats and dogs to die
Veterinarians in the United States recently discovered that pet diseases caused by electronic cigarettes are more and more common, unlike ordinary cigarettes, nicotine is liquid in electronic cigarettes. In the United States, the concentration of nicotine in electronic cigarettes is very high
Do not smoke electronic cigarettes in front of cats and dogs, but eating electronic cigarettes and cigarette bottles may cause death to cats and dogs
One cigarette in the United States contains 8-40mg of nicotine, 1 teaspoon, which is about 5ml, which may contain 80mg of nicotine. Electronic cigarettes containing THC are ten times more toxic to pets, especially dogs, than to humans
THC Another problem with electronic cigarette products is the lack of research on their side effects on pets
There have been many cases of dog e-cigarette poisoning in the United States, because many e-cigarettes have various flavors, such as mint and apples. Some dogs will like to eat this smell, so they follow the smell to find the e-cigarette bottle to chew on the cigarette bottle. According to the pet toxin hotline, intake of a cigarette bottle will cause 45 kilograms of dogs to show signs of poisoning, so eating a cigarette bottle for a 9 kilogram can endanger life. Any weight dog can suffer severe or even fatal poisoning if consumed with multiple nicotine bottles.
In addition, if gnawing, the cigarette bottle itself may cause harm to the pet's mouth, and if swallowing the cartridge, it may cause intestinal discomfort and/or blockage.
cats can have double troubles because e-cigarette steam contains propylene glycol, which is proven to cause hemolytic anemia. Another feature of cats that can lick or chew e-cigarettes makes it dangerous than solid nicotine, which can be absorbed through the pet's skin or oral mucosa. When a dog eats an ordinary cigarette, the liver will remove a lot of nicotine before nicotine enters the blood, but nicotine absorbed through the skin or mouth bypasses the liver and goes directly into the blood, which means that more nicotine is absorbed by cats and dogs. The situation of domestic electronic cigarettes is basically the ingredients of some domestic electronic cigarette brands, glycerin, nicotine salt, propylene glycol, fragrance, and ingredients are very similar.
The formal sales of domestic electronic cigarettes must not be THC in the domestic electronic cigarettes. This is a sure violation of the law in China.
CBD is illegal. I don't know the specific situation between it and not illegal, but at least I saw that there are few cbd oil in the electronic cigarettes you showed me, but some parallel electronic cigarettes have CBD
, so some of the serious situations mentioned earlier. Friends in mainland China don't have to worry about it because some are caused by thc and cbd. In most cases, only the harm caused by nicotine in electronic cigarettes will threaten domestic cats and dogs, if cats are
, the overall propylene glycol
will be better than foreign electronic cigarettes. The situation is better
Finally
Humans are very large animals, cats, especially cats, and their weight may be only one-tenth of that of humans, so the same toxins will have a more serious impact on them
So, for the health of your and other people's children, please do not smoke e-cigarettes in front of cats and dogs
More importantly, keep the e-cigarettes and cigarette bottles, and never give cats and dogs the chance to lick, or even swallow e-cigarettes
However, domestic legal e-cigarettes definitely do not contain thc, and are very likely to contain cbd, and the main harmful ingredients are nicotine and Propylene glycol, so the disadvantages of e-cigarettes in foreign cases are not that harmful to domestic cats and dogs. In short, I hope everyone should try their best to treat children as children and try their best to protect their health.
And I have also seen a lot of popular science articles about ordinary cigarettes and e-cigarettes. Everyone knows that cigarettes are a huge industry. There are many attacks on both sides to find the shortcomings of each other. Anyway, everyone understands that e-cigarettes and ordinary cigarettes are not good things for cats and dogs. Try not to smoke in front of them, but also keep the cigarettes well and don’t let them chew or swallow them.
