    Oh, I actually thought I deleted this comment since I realized I didn’t really know what I was talking about. But since it’s here, and you took the time to read it; The question that went through my mind is "okay, I know that there’s more to vaping/smoking than just nicotine, but what about chewing tabbaco? Isn’t that nicotine that harms you without the additives from smoking/vaping?

    I started with that article, but got lazy and didn’t want to look into it further. Sorry for the confusion.

      Chewing tobacco would also contain the carcinogens of tobacco resting in your mouth, causing cancer generally wherever it sits. The tobacco is still the delivery system for the nicotine. In the case of some snus, some are tobacco free, and are simply nicotine pouches that have soaked flavor and nicotine into them. Nicotine, like caffeine, vanillin, THC, can be extracted into its pure form from tobacco, removed from tobacco entirely and delivered in safer methods. This is the mindset behind vaping.
