Why do you think the terminology related to these devices has changed from “e-cigarettes” to “vape pens?

well i think that they have changed the name because more teens have been vaping and when i think of cigarettes i get disgusted but if someone hears vape pens they may think of fruit flavored juice instead of cigarettes

Answer:

Cigarettes have accumulated a nasty connotation over the years; when people think of cigarettes, they think of smoke and tar. The change of names is related to vape companies trying to distance themselves from that image for their product.
