I’m not a scientist but I simply can’t imagine that vaping a full JUUL cartridge and smoking a pack of cigarettes is even remotely the same.

  Does the factor matter, if both are unhealthy enough to be a problem?

    Of course degree matters. Healthy and Unhealthy are not binary categories. Both alcohol and meth are harmful to health, but the degree makes one manageable and the other not.

    Obviously? Dosage makes the poison.

    Yes, it matters because the government has an interest in improving the public health. When you reduce access to vaping that decreases the number of vapers and increases the number of smokers. So the relative risks of each are important in deciding how much you want to promote/restrict access to vaping. If vaping is just as bad as cigarettes than you probably want to make vaping really expensive and hard to get. If it's completely risk free you'd want to subsidize vaping and make sure it's available at every store. The best evidence looks like it's 5%-10% as deadly as smoking which means we probably don't want to restrict it too much.

  If 60 people get addicted to juul, and only 20 gets addicted to cigarrets, there is a problem. Cigarrets are so strong and disgusting that it is really hard to start. You really need to want to look cool as a teen to start smoking cigs. Juul is just so easy to smoke, and the flavors make it awesome. It's insane how different the two products are in term of awesomeness. So if juul is bad for health, the next generation is in deep deep trouble
