Nicotine on its own is about as addictive as caffeine.

It's the delivery system that the mental addiction is tethered to, not the substance.

Regardless, multiple studies have shown that vaping is a successful method to quit smoking, and that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking.

Shit, even the heavy metal study that was misreported to sound scary had Vapes with concentrations that were either orders of magnitude lower than smoking, lower than the OSHA limits, and in some cases lower than atmospheric levels.
