Archive note — September 2026: This 2016 guest editorial reflects a period debate over nicotine terminology and e-cigarette regulation. Its claims about FDA intent, legal definitions, and health effects are historical commentary, not current medical or legal guidance. The CDC states that nicotine is highly addictive, e-cigarette aerosol can contain harmful substances, and e-cigarettes should not be used by youth, young adults, or during pregnancy. See the CDC’s current health-effects guidance.
