During 1995, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) received 7917 reports of potentially toxic exposures to tobacco products among children aged < or = 6 years in the United States. Most cases of nicotine poisoning among children result from their ingestion of cigarettes or cigars. Acute nicotine poisoning is characterized by rapid onset of symptoms that may be severe when large amounts have been ingested. During January 1994-July 1996, the Rhode Island Poison Control Center (RIPCC) received 146 reports of ingestion of products containing nicotine by children aged < or = 6 years. To characterize risk factors for and outcomes associated with ingestion of cigarettes and cigarette butts among children aged < or = 6 years, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDH) analyzed data from the RIPCC and the 1996 Rhode Island Health Interview Survey (RIHIS). This report summarizes the findings of the study, which indicate that ingestion of cigarettes and cigarette butts by children aged < or = 6 years resulted in minor toxic effects and occurred more frequently in households where smoking was permitted in the presence of children and where cigarettes and cigarette wastes were accessible to children.
1995年期间，美国毒物控制中心协会（AAPCC）收到了7917份关于美国6岁及以下儿童潜在接触烟草制品中毒的报告。儿童尼古丁中毒的大多数病例是由于他们误食香烟或雪茄所致。急性尼古丁中毒的特点是症状迅速出现，大量摄入时症状可能很严重。在1994年1月至1996年7月期间，罗德岛毒物控制中心（RIPCC）收到了146份6岁及以下儿童误食含尼古丁产品的报告。为了确定6岁及以下儿童误食香烟和烟头的风险因素及相关后果，罗德岛卫生部（RIDH）分析了RIPCC的数据以及1996年罗德岛健康访谈调查（RIHIS）的数据。本报告总结了该研究的结果，结果表明，6岁及以下儿童误食香烟和烟头会导致轻微中毒，并且在允许儿童在场时吸烟以及儿童能够接触到香烟和烟蒂的家庭中更为常见。
