牛津字典宣布電子水煙(vape)成為2014年度新詞.牛津詞典編輯部表示,電子水煙(vape) 已經成為了主流用詞,2014年的使用量比去年翻了一番.電子煙是仿照香煙制成的電子霧化器具,該產品通過內置的霧化器產生霧氣,令使用者吸入霧化后的尼古丁.驟眼看猶如同吸煙,但是過程中產生的并不是煙,而是水霧.

Oxford Dictionaries has named "vape" as the word of the year, according to media reports. Researchers found that use of the word vape, meaning to inhale from an e-cigarette, has doubled in a year. This reflects the popularity of e-cigarettes, a device that contains nicotine but not tobacco, and produces vapor instead of smoke.
