'Vape', 'Binge-Watch' Added to Oxford Dictionaries - ABC News

Well, vaping is officially a "thing" now I suppose.

One of these is "vape" or "vaping," which describes inhaling smokeless nicotine vapor using e-cigarettes. Oxford Dictionaries researchers say the usage of both "vape" and "e-cig" has increased about 10 times in the past two years.
"The trend of e-cigarettes has created a sort of vocabulary around it," Martin said.

Not sure how I feel about "listicle" though. Ewww.

I’ve been using a vape now for 15 weeks

my cravings went away as soon as I took a vape
