    The tobacco-toting treehopper

    What tobacco? The whole point of a vape is that it doesn’t burn tobacco…

        nicotine != tobacco. Tobacco contains nicotine… but a vape is a substitute for tobacco… that’s the whole point of it, to get nicotine without using tobacco.

        Meat contains protein. If someone uses a protein substitute you don’t call it a “meat-shake”.

        What does nicotine have to do with claiming they are ingesting tobacco?
