CDC survey finds far more US adult smokers tried to quit smoking (during most recent quit attempt) by vaping (60%) from 2014-2016 than by using nicotine patches or gums (25%), getting help from a doctor or other health professional (15%), using Zyban or Chantix (12%), using quitlines (3%). Note that smokers could check multiple answers, and that healthcare providers and quitlines recommend Big Pharma drugs to smokers. But of course CDC still claims there is no evidence that vaping can help smokers quit smoking.
