Cigarettes aren't bad because nicotine is bad, they are bad because you get addicted to the byproducts of additives. Low nicotine cigarettes are just as bad for your health and in terms of addictiveness.

There is a significant difference between inhaling vapor and inhaling smoke that drives addictiveness. Yes, vaping is still bad, but it takes less willpower to quit vaping than to quit smoking. Almost every successful addiction therapy relies on slowly weaning the patient off the drugs, which then gets misrepresented as "making drug addicts high using tax money".
