I didn't think e-cigarettes/vaping devices had tobacco in them, why are they included?

Electronic cigarettes, vaping devices, and most e-hookahs contain cartridges with liquid nicotine. Nicotine is derived from real tobacco, because of this, the state of North Carolina considers e-cigs a tobacco product. E-cigarettes, vaping devices, e-hookahs or any electronic oral device that employ a mechanical heating element are included in this ordinance.
