Rejoice, vapers! ‘Vape’ is the Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year 2014. Vaping has been in the news for some years now, as the best option to quit smoking. However, ‘vape’ being the word of the year is some of the greatest news so far. It means recognition for e-cigarette vape and vaping. Vapers from around the world who have heard the news are feeling honored and elated. The e-cigarette vape community welcomes this move by Oxford Dictionary with open arms.
For all those who don’t know the meaning of vape yet, here it goes!

The Oxford Dictionary blog explains that vape was the most searched word on the internet this year. April 2014, saw a peak in the usage of vape when U.K welcomed its first vape café, but New York banned it indoors.
The Oxford Dictionary blog also mentions that vaping has gone mainstream, with celebs giving it a go.

One can always spot Katherine Heigl or Leonardo di Caprio with a vape pen. Now, if vape were unhealthy or uncool, the celebs wouldn’t flash it, would they?
