a vapor comprised from aromatic liquid of nicotine


Explanation:
I guess this so-called e-cigarrettes do not cause carcionogenic smoke as in usual cigarettes, and they do not produce any secondhand smoke like traditional cigarettes do. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.

vapors...since they are referring to "un vapore", however incorrect the rest of the original sentence may be :)

neutral  wordgirl: vapors are something a bit different; for English usage see the links I posted on the subject or do a quick G search for e-cigarettes... ;)

nicotine-flavoured vapour/aerosol


Explanation:
if it's nebulized liquid then it must be "aerosol"
If it's "vapore" then it must be "vapour"

But it cannot be "vapour composed of liquid": the laws of physics don't allow that!

Just thought about it: vapourised nicotine is supposed to be a much deadlier poison than just the cigarette smoke with some nicotine in it!
