You've got two factions working against vaping. First you have the aggressive activists that have been fighting against smoking for decades. Those people have been pretty successful at getting legislation created and achieving cultural change. Some of them are freaking out because vaping blows right by all of their arguments. Really the only valid point they have left is that vaping does function as a nicotine delivery system, so most people are going to agree to limiting access to it for minors. Then you have the tobacco companies. They can't compete. Their product is inherently inferior and substantially more expensive. The technology is too simple. If I really wanted to, I could make my own mod and create my own juice. Neither of those factions can win unless they spread a lot of bullshit and get people to believe it. Other than that you have states raking in taxes on tobacco products. Of course those were added as a "sin tax" and the money was earmarked for wonderful projects like creating stupid commercials that make you want to go have a smoke. Rest assured. I'm sure the government is dedicated to spending your money wisely. **** 'em. **** 'em all.
