It isn't clear to me how useful this study is. There is no indication that the people found "less likely" to quit even intended to do so in the first place. The story seems to make the assumption that anyone vaping is doing so as a cessation technique but that certainly is not true in my anecdotal experience.
Since this came from the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, it's pretty easy to assume a senseless agenda behind the whole thing.
I will say, as someone who shuns nicotine after a decades-long addiction, I find vapers far more pleasant than smokers. If people are switching with no intent to quit, that's still a big win in my eyes. Particularly since I don't see it as my job to regulate what people put into themselves.
