I do. I would want to know.
You’d get annoyed hearing about it if it constantly comes from a kid who exaggerates and overreacts to every situation.

I have spoken up when it was a risky situation that I became aware of. I stressed about doing so, but in some situations you just cannot stay silent. The other kid and my kid stayed close. And my low-level friendship with the kid's mother stayed intact.
But non risky -- like their kid texting mine at midnight? probably wouldn't stay a word unless the texts were inappropriate. But if the parent was a good friend I might say something like, "Hmm. Are you sure about that?"

I would send them pics of the vaping and social media account anonymously.

Depends on how it comes up in conversation. If the parent is bragging about how tight a ship they run and without any prompting from me says their kid doesn't participate in such and such vice, I would correct them, with evidence. Putting snoots in their place is important work. Otherwise I would just mind my own business.

Sorry I wouldn’t even do it for vaping. I would do it for harder drugs or not wearing a seatbelt.

How would this be sanctimonious?
In order for there to be sanctimony one must be both religiously pious and a hypocrite. How is that the case in this scenario?
“MY Larla does NOT have social media and would NEVER vape!” Said in a braggy tone.
It’s enjoyable when you know these things to be untrue.

We would have to be super close and have our kids know each other through our friendship rather than the other way around for me to even consider saying anything.

I have done this once with a very good friend who expressed a lot of concern about their kid and vaping. So it wasn’t a “correction.” In every other instance, I let the rest of it go. As PP said, my relationship with my child is paramount.
+1 I wouldn't correct parents for the sake of telling them their kid isn't the perfect angel they think he/she is. If we were close and there were health implications, I might mention something like vaping.
