Anytime I hear about Marijuana addiction I think of this (vulgar) scene from the Dave Chappelle movie "Half Baked":

Definitely some skepticism there!
I think there are plenty who haven’t, probably lots for religious reasons. But to not have heard that term is very surprising. There’s even a movie, half baked.
I say this tongue-in-cheek, but I'm reminded of Bob Saget's scene in the movie Half Baked. It's vulgar, be warned.

This is a modified quote from the movie Half Baked. Not literal.
> It’s the idea of turning the other cheek.
I had to look this up.
> refrain from retaliating when one has been attacked or insulted.
I don't think he have retaliated in anyway, at least from the github commit message and the blog post. He just decided it wasn't worth his free time to deal with this problem. Maybe there is a disagreement with the definition of rage quitting but it was his open source project and his free time. I don't think it's rage quitting if he wants to quit and do something else with his free time.
Rage quitting have a negative connotation such as flipping table or that scene from the movie Half baked where the dude cussed everybody out before quitting. He seems to have a career, whether you care or not, labeling at such may be detrimental to his career.
Regardless of if you care or not, I hope other people refrain from speculating or do huge leaps of conclusion base on little or no facts that can damage other people's ability to make a living.
In my personal experience, vaping does not feel very addictive at all. I used to be a heavy smoker, using 3-4 hand rolled cigarettes every hour unless I was somewhere I could not smoke. I'm now a heavy vaper, I vape all day every day, but it feels more like something I do because I enjoy doing it than because I need to.
When I was a smoker, running out of tobacco would induce panic attacks. Every minute spent on an airplane or at the movies I'd devote most of my thoughts to longing for the moment I could have a smoke again. When short on cash, I'd prioritize tobacco over food.
As a vaper, I have on multiple occassions forgot to bring my vaporizer (or charger, or e-juice) when travelling and gone without for days with no problems at all. A bit annoying perhaps, but no more than forgetting to bring my headphones before a flight or something like that, certainly not even close to the cravings I'd get when I couldn't get hold of my precious tobacco during my smoking days.
There's obviously individual differences at play here, but if someone came to me complaining about their horrible vaping addiction I'd have to restrain myself from not going all Bob Saget in Half Baked on that poor vape junkie... ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEberTUvrsE )
