I am a bit skeptical of that studies findings. However, it is quite absurd that the US anti-smoking legislation (taxes, advertising bans, etc.) completely ignore the different forms of tobacco. Pure tobacco is probably better, and chewing tobacco is considerably better, and vaping is not even tobacco. Yet the US treats most the same way and many states are even adding tobacco taxes on vaping. The reasons I can come up with: 1. The anti-smoking movement became very classist. 2. Big tobacco certainly prefers that cigerettes remain the most common form of tobacco since they are more profitable. 3. States like collecting taxes and don't care about the actual effect on public health.
