It is the nicotine that is the addictive part of smoking - yes all the other parts of the tobacco contain all the filth.
Vapes contain nicotine + whatever the carrying agent is - People are vaping more than they were smoking, their nicotine intake is higher than when they were smoking because it doesn't end. When the vape goes wrong (and they haven't got another one) they are smoking fags within 5 minutes because they need the nicotine.
I have tried a vape. I am allergic to them as they make me choke (I can smoke fags easily) so there is something in the carrying agent that is not good for you - the fact that other people can withstand the effects doesn't make them better than fags. We just aren't aware of the long term effects yet.
The only substitute to smoking is quit anything that contains nicotine.
