who created vaping?
<answer> Hon Lik <context> The inventor of vaping. My Spectator article on meeting the man who invented vaping, Hon Lik. Few people have heard of Hon Lik, which is a pity because he’s probably saved more lives already than anybody else I have met. Twelve years ago, he invented vaping — the idea of getting nicotine vapour from an electronic device rather than a miniature bonfire between your lips. Vaping is driving smoking out at an extraordinary rate, promising to achieve what decades of public health measures have largely failed to do.
