Abstract:

E-cigarettes have become popular as an alternative to traditional tobacco products. However, the safety of e-cigarettes is a significant issue, as there have been numerous incidents of Li-ion battery fires and explosions resulting in bodily injury and property damage. This paper presents a comprehensive review of publicly reported e-cigarette fire and explosion incidents, and then, identifies and discusses the key concerns, causes, and remedies.
