Letter to the Editor Regarding “Students’ Cigarette Smoking and the Perceived Nicotine Content of Their E-cigarettes”

O'Loughlin and Wellman comment on the study by Tam and Warner regarding students' cigarette smoking and the perceived nicotine content of their e-cigarettes. Tam and Warner contend that most adolescent nonsmokers who vape believe that they are vaping "just flavors," and that we should be reassured because young people are not intentionally inhaling nicotine. The authors' thesis seems to be that nicotine is the "agent provocateur" in vaping and that the perceived absence of nicotine renders the situation benign.
