That’s directly from the CDC. They should probably stop using the word e-cigarette especially due to the fact nobody using the THC vapes calls them that.

Curious linguistic detail: they need to use the word that people using THC vapes expect them to use for clear communications to occur. As a stuffy international organization, they'd be expected to use something that sounds like a technical term. Vs for instance, some slang or cool-kid term.
