Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems) were invented in China in 2003 then introduced to the British market in 2007. They remain popular among the public and are deemed to be effective in reducing tobacco smoking (the UK being one of the first countries to embrace them in a harm reduction policy). However, reports in the media of e-cigarettes exploding are of concern, considering the potential functional and psychological impairment that lifelong disfigurement will cause, especially given their uptake among people of any age. We present a case of this rare, but dramatic, effect of e-cigarette use as a warning to the public.
电子烟（也称为电子烟或电子尼古丁输送系统）于 2003 年在中国发明，随后于 2007 年引入英国市场。它们在公众中仍然很受欢迎，并被认为在减少吸烟方面是有效的（英国是最早采用电子烟作为减少伤害政策的国家之一）。然而，媒体报道电子烟爆炸的事件令人担忧，因为终身毁容会造成潜在的功能和心理障碍，尤其是考虑到电子烟在任何年龄段的人群中都有使用。我们报告了这一罕见但戏剧性的电子烟使用后果案例，以警示公众。
