在反菸人士希望藉由香港政府完全禁止電子煙消息一鼓作氣時,美國食品藥物管理局(FDA)局長Scott Gottlieb卻在這個時候表明美國FDA對於威卜(VAPE)的態度:
-----------------------------------

Editor:
1) All your sources are written in trad form, and they all write it as 威卜, not 威蔔.

2) There are only 301 results on Google (verbatim) for { "威卜" site:.cn }.
(Not all that many for .tw either.)

3) Your examples show 威卜 is a noun. It's not a verb as the definition "vape" implies.
威卜 *comes from* "vape", but it doesn't *mean* "vape".
Another example: 全球吸菸人口降低是因為威卜 (又稱電子煙) 的使用人口慢慢增多。

4) bo5 seems to me more likely than bu3.
Diff:
# 威蔔 威卜 [wei1 bu3] /(loanword) vape/
+ 威卜 威卜 [wei1 bo5] /(loanword) vaporizer (e-cigarette)/
