For adults 21+ only. Smokey Cloudz sells only to adults of legal age; see our Age Policy and Sales Restrictions. Vapes contain nicotine, an addictive chemical.

We’re a vape retailer, not a medical provider, and this is general information, not medical advice. Poison experts can tell you exactly what to do for your child.

What to do right away

  1. Take the vape away and check the child’s mouth for pieces or liquid.
  2. If e-liquid touched skin, wash with soap and water (FDA; America’s Poison Centers).
  3. If liquid got in the eyes, rinse with water (FDA).
  4. Call 1-800-222-1222 — even if you’re not sure anything happened (FDA). Have ready: child’s age and weight, the product (brand, nicotine strength), how the exposure happened (puff, chewed, swallowed liquid), and when.
  5. Don’t give anything by mouth unless the poison expert tells you to (HRSA Poison Help).

Why it matters

Most e-cigarette exposures reported to U.S. poison centers involve young children — about 88% were under age 5 in April 2022–March 2023 (CDC MMWR, 2023). The FDA warns that e-liquid can seriously harm children, especially if swallowed. Follow the poison center’s advice on what to watch for and whether to go to a doctor or ER.

Prevention

  • Store vapes and e-liquids up high, out of sight and reach, every time (FDA).
  • Ask guests who vape to keep bags and coats out of reach.
  • Don’t charge or leave devices on low tables, couches, or car seats.
  • Save 1-800-222-1222 in your phone.
