It's not the nicotine. I swear. I can vape 0% nicotine and it's the same as nicotine vapes. It gives me about a quarter of the comfort and anxiety reduction of a cigarette. Addiction to cigarettes is about the ritual and the motions of smoking. Nicotine is overplayed.

People say vaping doesn't hit as much as cigs (even with nicotine), so they do half and half and wean down until vaping is enough. So with respect to nicotine it's the long term biological addiction.
