FDA officials concluded that the health risks from Zyn pouches are likely lower than potential risks from using snus (low toxicant smokeless tobacco) and the FDA has already concluded that some snus brands are significantly less harmful than cigarettes.

I don't consume any nicotine myself, but it seems that letting people use nicotine in a way that is less harmful to their health is a good idea.

There have been specific statements made that express that you shouldn't use nicotine:

"There is no safe tobacco product," the agency said. "Youth should not use tobacco products and adults who do not use tobacco products should not start."

That's Zyn and not Vapes

I agree it seems that "smokeless tobacco" means "consuming tobacco by putting it in your mouth rather than putting nicotine into air and inhaling it". I assumed that "smokeless tobacco" included "vaporized nicotine", probably due to my unfamiliarity with nicotine products.

Regardless, it seems that using a vape leads to less harm than using cigarettes:

There is substantial evidence that e-cigarette exposure is associated with biomarkers reflective of cancer disease risk. However, the overall evidence on cancer risk is still limited and should be further investigated by future research, particularly rigorously designed clinical trials and population-based research.
