Neil,
Thank you for sharing this history of vaping (the word) and e-cigarette.
In the video, Rob Stepney gives one an interesting background to the thoughts and attempts to separate nicotine and tar in smoking tobacco, but seems unsure who first coined or first used the word. [*see note below]

[*Note from HIFA moderator (NPW): Yes, I think Rob is just being modest saying that although he can't remember hearing the word, it's possible he heard the word being used by someone else orally before he first put it into print. He says 'it's quite likely other people thought of using the term' independently. I think this is fairly typical of how new words emerge.]
