Oxford Dictionaries sanctioned the use of vape in the English language by adding the word to its online service along with other zeitgeist entries like binge-watch, YOLO, subtweet and tech-savvy.

“The Oxford Corpus reveals an approximate tenfold increase in usage of the terms vape and e-cig in the last two years, as electronic devices which enable people to inhale smokeless nicotine vapour have become increasingly widespread”, the online service announced. “Despite the fact that e-cigarettes were not commercially available until the 21st Century, the word vaping dates to 1983, when it was used to describe a hypothetical smoking device being considered at the time.” E-cigarette was entered into Oxford online in August, 2012.
