Word of the year 2014

We were talking not long ago about how English incorporates new words every year. Last year's word of the year was 'SELFIE'.
Lexicographers for Oxford Dictionaries have named the verb “TO VAPE,” as their word of the year 2014. It means to  inhale and exhale vapor from an electronic cigarette.
 In the shortlist there were words like 'slacktivism' or 'indyref'. You can see the complete list  HERE

But is 'vaping' healthy?  Watch the video:


 KEY WORDS: to ban (to forbid), nicotine, flavours, encourage, research, toy guns.
