People's nicotine intake for the mostpart has been limited by how much people can physically smoke, and not many people can stomach chain-smoking more than 60 to 80 in a day.

Nicotine intake from vaping is effectively unlimited, and people are back to "the old days" of sitting at their work desk inhaling all day, especially because they think there are no health effects. Yes the cancer risk is (probably) removed or at least seriously lessened but that doesn't mean there won't be other health implications.

The truth is there has been absolutely NO research at all done into the effects of very high nicotine intake daily over the long term. We simply won't know if there are any until 2040 and beyond when people have been vaping for 20+ years. Plus the only sources I've ever seen claiming that there are zero ill health effects originate from vape companies and pro-vape websites which are hardly unbiased sources...

Also as Kizzy has pointed out - there's more in "vape juice" than just the nicotine. It's not literally oil so the "oily lining" isn't likely to happen, I believe the viscosity is down to sugar-based substances, but still... you are inhaling various chemicals several times a day that are supposedly harmless but - again - I very much doubt when they were declared harmless, it was in the context of deliberately heating and inhaling them several times a day over several years...

Why not? It's an oil isn't it... there's water and a thickening agent and an emulsifier, otherwise they would separate, that's an oil.
