TL;DR
Nicotine is a stimulant.
When vaped, humans show signs of having been stimulated.

...but only if you vape it in an e-cigarette.

Nicotine in other stop smoking treatments is perfectly harmless.

ETA The Grauniad ran the same story yesterday, the BTL commenters were overwhelmigly unconviced.

Caffeine, as a stimulant, has similar effects. Ain't no public health 'scientists' getting cheap press by telling us about the dangers of a cuppa, though

And as Tomatoes also contain Nicotine, there goes my 5 a Day and I can safely return to Mars Bars and other "Good for You" foods.

This. Exactly this.

Nic = nic, no matter if it comes from a patch, gum or a vaporiser.
