Wow, that's a dirty tactic. Especially when you consider that what's bad about smoking is tobacco and e-cigs don't necessarily have tobacco.

What's bad about smoking is burning tobacco.

Important distinction.

You can be even more general than that. Inhaling burning organic matter is probably worth avoiding. There is some good evidence that wood smoke is also quite bad for you.[1]

e-cigs don't even necessarily have nicotine.

I like to vape on occasion - mostly at home, indoors, when I am coding or doing something similar on my computer in my office.

My vape of choice is a custom menthol blend with caffeine - and zero nicotine.

Caffeine?! That's very interesting. Got any links about vaping caffeine?
