plenty of vapes have nicotine.
nicotine != tobacco. Tobacco contains nicotine... but a vape is a substitute for tobacco... that's the whole point of it, to get nicotine without using tobacco.
Meat contains protein. If someone uses a protein substitute you don't call it a "meat-shake".
eh, it was the best I got
I think I'll add that to my lexicon, like "meat-bag" and "meat popsicle".
What about "spam purse"?
That's just a purse with Spam inside.
Don't you tell me what to call my meat shakes
But is it shaken meat or shakes you get from meat depravation?
It's secretly raspberry milkshake with chunks of raspberry but the straw is shaped like a bone.
Reminds me of this song by Ugly Duckling

Synthetic nicotine is a thing, but not the majority of vape juice. Most of its still just extracted from tobacco.
To continue your metaphor, I wouldnt call beef stock steak, but i wouldnt call it vegetarian, either.
How would you like your steak?
Drank.
What does nicotine have to do with claiming they are ingesting tobacco?
