Electronic cigarette and vaping device use in the household represents a possible source of unintentional nicotine exposure to pediatric patients. Although most ingestions of nicotine may be mild, there is a potential for significant toxicity. Nicotine toxicity can present similarly to many other types of ingestions, which makes the history an important piece of the encounter. Treatment of nicotine toxicity is primarily supportive care directed at the presenting signs and symptoms. There is no antidotal therapy for nicotine toxicity. This review covers information that can assist clinicians who might treat a pediatric patient presenting with significant nicotine toxicity after the accidental ingestion of liquid nicotine products.
