That's not entirely fair because there's a distinction between nicotine and smoking.
The method of delivery killed those nicotine addicts. None of those nicotine addicts died as a direct result of what nicotine does to the body. Combusting tobacco and inhaling the smoke is what killed them (ignoring chewing or snorting).
If I used a patch, I can continue my nicotine addiction without fear of lung disease. I can't do the same with smoking.
There's no method of delivering a habitual psychoactive dose of alcohol that doesn't cause harm.
But all said and done, I'm not sure vaping nicotine, with all those flavours, has been proven safe. There's a lot of talk about popcorn lung.
