On one hand, chemophobia is rampant in our society. The infamous dihydrogen monoxide story is a prime example. On the other hand, acrylamide is a single, testable molecule. Taking a mix of chemicals, heating them up to high temperatures, enough to evaporate them, and hoping that they don't break down into anything dangerous is much harder to test. Arbitrary organic compounds can decompose before water boils, or they can sustain high heats. Its really a case by case basis. And the solution for vapes may be similar, but the flavoring solutes vary.
