> pure nicotine is harmful too In what way? A summary [1] I have read some time ago does not seem to suggest nicotine is really harmful in any obviously offput

  Get some strong (high nicotine) vape liquid in your mouth and you’ll understand. You can get moderate nicotine poisoning from vaping or smoking too much too quickly: headache, nausea, it feels gross. I got it real bad from those old Eclipse cigarettes which were basically flame activated vaporizers way ahead of their time. You just couldn’t pause it once it was chooching like you can with every battery operated vape.

  I've read the same summary. I agree nicotine isn't very bad overall, but inhaling it is definitely not good for your lungs. This is anecdotal but I can feel the difference in respiratory inflammation when vaping a lot as opposed to just smoking/vaporizing weed. And again, tobacco is an order of magnitude worse most likely (if not more). But I highly doubt nicotine is completely harmless to the lungs, throat etc
