As far as Windows security issues on WINE, yes. It is perfectly possible to get a WINE installation infected with Windows malware, however these issues are specific to WINE, meaning that a Windows virus infecting Windows software on WINE is incapable of affecting the function of your Linux system in any way. Fixing the issue is as simple as uninstalling WINE and deleting the .wine directory from your /home.
You may want to look into VirtualBox or some other virtualization software. I avoid using WINE whenever possible as I find it to be problematic, buggy and generally a poor substitute for an actual Windows system. Especially if it's going to be running something that could potentially have serious negative health side effects such as your nicotine vapor inhaler.
