It does mean that, unless we are stupid or have ulterior motives, we should not regulate them equally heavily.

Besides, the science shows vaping is nearly harmless. I think that, again unless we are stupid, we should not be regulating it "heavily" at all. Just ban it for under-18s. Enforce that ban. That's all.
