MAOIs are distinct from the nicotine, which is why smoking is more addictive than vaping; they're sort of a pleasure-catalyst in my understanding. In some ways its dissapointing there isn't a vaping product containing these.

I think there is; the cigarette companies came up with a stick of tobacco (looks a lot like a cigarette) that gets inserted into a vape that heats it up.

I just found snus, which purports to lack many of the health drawbacks from other forms of tobacco, as well as any heartburn issues that come with smoking or gum. Most of that is hearsay from old Swedish men, though, so take it with a grain of salt.
