CCTV footage of a man's e-cigarette exploding in his pocket has been making rounds on social media.
According to a Telegraph report, the footage shows a man in the UK standing beside a baby pram when his e-cigarette explodes and catches fire; causing him to panic while other shoppers run for safety.
Fire rescue teams on the scene attended to the victim who was left with slight injuries.
A fire investigator quoted by Telegraph stated that the cause of the mishap was a short circuit with the batteries of the device. The investigator said:
"This footage clearly shows the dangers of storing batteries alongside any metal objects, be it keys, coins, or even your phone if it has a metal case. This is not the first time we have seen injuries caused by a lithium-ion battery exploding whilst being carried in someone's pocket. We really want the public to understand the risks which can be easily avoided. There does not need to be a fault with the battery, the problem is the incorrect storage of the batteries."The UAE authorities have also advised time and again about the dangers of e-cigarettes. The device which is popular among smokers seeking a 'healthier' alternative can be bought in stores around the country. Despite their rumoured benefits, e-cigarette users still risk nicotine addiction, brain development problems, mood disorders, and if not store properly, cases like this.
