Your disingenuous description of the vaping industry ("taken over" by tobacco companies -- they own about 20% of it at best) is pretty slick. You do a great job serving the political status quo, and protecting cigarettes.https://twitter.com/kzernike/status/989121573339697152 …
The story says that JUUL is the biggest player in the market. Not sure how any of this protects cigarettes.

Demonizing the first real threat to the cigarette industry, and pushing the FDA to set an unreachable public health standard for low-risk smoking alternatives helps cigarettes. The architects of this moral panic are doing those things. You're helping them. That's all.

I think the story pretty well outlines the balance here: trying to find something that works for adults but doesn't initiate teen smoking. (Also, the story notes the concerns about said moral panic. Part of presenting both sides.)

The vaping industry hasn't been taken over by tobacco companies. They own 20% of the whole thing. Why repeat that tobacco control talking point that isn't true?
