Replacing an addiction with another doesn't fix the addiction
Not all addictions are equal. The plan I suggested gradually reduces harm. It's better to aim for harm reduction rather than cold turkey quitting which frequently leads to relapses.
Ok let me say the issue in a different way. Both are nicotine. You have the exact same addiction. You aren't even quiting your just changing the flavor of tobacco. If I start drinking vodka instead of beer and say I am trying to get over alcoholism, you would say I am insane because that won't work.
