Definition of «vape»

While "vape" can refer to the device itself, as a verb or a lifestyle term in slang, it refers to the act of inhaling nicotine or flavored vapor as a constant social or solitary habit. In internet culture, it is often associated with specific aesthetics or daily routines, such as "the hour scroll and vape before bed." It carries a connotation of modern relaxation or, conversely, a mindless addiction that fits into the background of digital life. The term is used casually to describe a ubiquitous part of contemporary youth and young adult culture.
