I'd rather see millions of smokers prolonging their lives by switching to a far less hazardous source of nicotine like vaping.
And therein lies the problem. The tobacco industry doesn't want to see that happen because they want lifeling consumers of their tobacco. They're some of the biggest lobbyists in Washington. I imagine they have people working over at the FDA. There's pretty much a revolving door between industry and the FDA.
Abolish the FDA.
Also, the vape products that are most unhealthy and dangerous - the cheap-shit ones sold in convenience stores, which are also the ones most of the studies are based on - are manufactured by the tobacco companies. They're already accustomed to having their products highly regulated, and have the money to deal with that and keep making profits, so they would LOVE to see their smaller competitors regulated out of business.
