Let me introduce 2 more words into the smokeless cigarette lingo (I didn’t make these up, I swear!!). One is “vaping” and the other is “vape”…

Vaping is the personal vaporizer (ecigarette) version of the word “smoking”, and this is what happens when you take a puff or drag on an electronic cigarette and emit the vapor (instead of smoke!) from it. This is what makes them smokeless!

Also, to vape is the act of vaping, and I’m starting to see more people do this as these products become more common in the USA and in other countries around the world. Some day this will be in frequent usage and in dictionaries, so you can say you read it here first! lol

I was just visiting a forum where ex-smokers were posting their positive comments about how using their “personal vaporizer” has changed their lives. I thought this was interesting because I had always just thought these things were called electronic cigarettes or ecigarettes.

But, I kept seeing users referring to their PV devices and, not knowing what that meant, I investigated further and found that it stood for the personal vaporizer that they use for “vaping” (another new word for the dictionary!).

Wow! What will they come up with next??
