It's more complicated than that, but I have had multiple smokers espouse to me that it is more difficult to regulate consumption with a vape than with traditional cigarettes.

I'm not sure what the new vapes can do, but old vapes didn't have the ability to put a ceiling on dose for a single session (ie turn off after x pulls). With a cigarette, the act of burning through the cig acts as an indicator to stop. With a vape it's more difficult to understand when to stop because there is no physical indicator.
