Virginia for each person inhaling (5)

I believe the answer is:

vaper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person inhaling' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'virginia for each' is the wordplay.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'for each' becomes 'per' (per person).
'va'+'per'='VAPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Times.
