I think you have to want to quit smoking for it to work like that. I’ve found that because vaping is more accessible than smoking, someone’s vaping consumption can be far higher than what they were smoking. It can be quite easy to sort of absent mindedly vape in a way that’s harder to do when smoking.

But I do know people who have used vaping in this way. Someone I knew had tried to quit smoking before but they couldn’t go from one cigarette per day (and they needed to quit fully, or their smoking would inevitably increase during times of stress). When smoking, I guess you could roll a smaller cigarette, but this friend tried that and it didn’t work. Vaping allowed them to finally kick the habit for good because their vape allowed them to taper down the nicotine content per puff of the vape
