Vaping is not intended as a smoking cessation product
That’s just factually inaccurate.
it is a cigarette alternative
It happens to help people quit cigarettes
By better simulating the habit than other methods. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make the connection. You have to be a special kind of stupid to confidently deny it, though.
the tobacco industry does not give two shits whether it does or doesn’t
True, but they’re not the ones who invented vapes. In fact, they and organizations sponsored by the sales of “traditional” smoking cessation products were the most ardent advocates for outlawing vapes, for obvious reasons. That some of them have bought Juul and other vape companies is just a cynical way of getting rid of the competition by devouring it.

Which is why it’s meant for adult smokers only. It’s still nowhere near as addictive and harmful as tobacco, though, so even if you DO accidentally replace one addiction with another, you’re still better off than if you had continued smoking.
