The title asserts that smokers who switch to vaping start to drink more. The paper however shows no such thing. It just reports that ex-smokers who vape drink more than ex-smokers who do not vape. Heavier smokers are more likely to seek nicotine maintenance and are also heavier drinkers and the difference almost certainly predated quitting. The title does not reflect the study findings and misleads casual readers.
