That word (the 'built' one below)—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

---

The word “Vapor” is built on “a |Warm |Exhalation, Steam, |Heat (heh-heh ... Steeeem Heat)” (the 'Fit of Fainting/Hysteria/etc.' ("she's got a case of The Vapors!"  ) is from medieval notion of 'exhalations' from one's |Guts affecting one's Brain).

EXTR(x)ACT Magazine tells us:

For now, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control-&-prevention) has recommended that people refrain from using e-cigarettes or vaping products.... Anyone who uses an e-cigarette or vaping product should only purchase tested, regulated medical cannabis products from legal stores, avoid purchasing any off the street and should not modify or add any other substances to these products.

If you are an adult who uses e-cigarettes because you have quit cigarette smoking, do not return to smoking cigarettes.

The center further recommends that users experiencing an abnormal cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever or abdominal pain should see a healthcare provider immediately and call the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222

You know something about that word-history that

 below)? 'Fill us in on it'- or just tell me what you

 think (or ask me about something in this- or another-

word that confuses you) with a comment below,
