By the definitions of deadly, and chemical, absolutely. Do you feel otherwise?

  I think, pretty obviously, the subtext here is that the LD50 of nicotine is a red herring, having little (at least epidemiologically) to do with the supposed hazards of vaping. Acetaminophen is also highly toxic --- unlike nicotine, the therapeutic dose is apparently right up on the toxic threshold. Tylenol kills at least 400 people every year, doubtless an order of magnitude (if not two) more than nicotine.
