There is a specific reason why 'e-cigs' use liquid nicotine...
Carcinogens are present at higher temps, but they result from the tobacco being burned. Vaporizers (generally) use convection heating not conduction.

I'm not saying it's healthy, but it is healthier than burning the tobacco leaves. The tobacco was used as an example. Tobacco is also vaporized at a lower temperature: around 280 degrees. If someone vaporized it at say 375, there would be smoke and there would be some carcinogens.

I'm aware of why e-cigs use liquid nicotine ;-)
