Cannabis
Vaping isn't only for nicotine. I'd like to see this article expanded to include the increasingly common practice of vaping cannabis products.

They have different nomenclature and health effects. E-cigarettes replace cigarettes. THC vapes are not intended to simulate cigarettes and are often referred to as vape pens.
While all e-cigarettes are based on glycerin and/or propylene glycol, THC vapes usually use an oily substance.

It looks like someone read a study, took it as fact, and copied the text into the lead. I've tried to remedy it.

AlexGallon, I can see why you've done this, but with this particular article we need to bear in mind our audience. A substantial proportion of the people who type "electronic cigarette" into the search box are teenagers considering taking a puff—and English isn't necessarily their first language. So the lead of this particular article tries to use the simplest possible grammatical constructions. Short, declarative sentences in the active voice with as few subclauses as possible. We can use college level English in the body text; it's just the lead that needs to be super-accessible.—
