Based on my entirely anecdotal evidence:

* I know one smoker who also vapes

* I know one smoker who switched to vaping before going back to smoking because he found it hard to limit his vaping (because number of cigarettes is easier to measure)

* I know several vapers who either don't smoke or gave up smoking in favour of vaping

* I know several smokers who aren't interested in vaping

None of them is younger than 25.

This was my problem. Went to vaping to quit and ended up making the addiction worse because it is really easy to mindless puff away. I've seen newer models with USB that you can limit the number a draws on though so that might be a good option.

His problem was that he kept pulling out the vaporizer for a few quick puffs, which added up to a lot more than the extended smoking sessions cigarettes require.
