    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”.

          It’s secretly raspberry milkshake with chunks of raspberry but the straw is shaped like a bone.

      “meat-shake”

      I think I’ll add that to my lexicon, like “meat-bag” and “meat popsicle”.

      Synthetic nicotine is a thing, but not the majority of vape juice. Most of its still just extracted from tobacco.

      To continue your metaphor, I wouldnt call beef stock steak, but i wouldnt call it vegetarian, either.
