While I agree with you on the other points, I think if trying vaping is largely displacing trying cigarettes then it's fair to compare it to smoking. If vaping were as harmful but less addictive or more addictive but not harmful, then it might fill the role more safely. If it is neither addictive nor harmful and a new generation of teenagers knows that, then vaping can't replace cigarettes any more than carrots can.
