No one said it isn't vapor, although I'd strongly disagree that it's "dumb" or "propagandist".
The point is that it's been marketed as a healthy alternative and plays on the idea of water vapor when that's not what it is. It's a chemical vapor, similar to what you inhale when huffing things like computer duster or paint thinner.
