I think the reason vaping is being push as worst than smoking in many cases is they want people to die sooner so they can pay into social security but never draw it.
That's one reason, but the bigger reason is because BP has deep pockets and a lot of lawmakers and policy makers in that pocket, and BP stands to lose TRILLIONS if people ACTUALLY stop smoking using something other than the useless crap that BP peddles, and thus won't need so much medicine for cancer, COPD, asthma, and many many other ailments that BP makes trillions selling. Then you have all those smoke nazis that work for the "charitable" orgs which are actually paid-for mouthpieces of BP, nothing charitable about them... all those smoke nazis will be out of a job when people ACTUALLY stop smoking, so hell no, BP doesn't want ANYONE to ACTUALLY stop smoking, and it's for damn sure that BT doesn't, but even BT doesn't have the deep pockets and gov't flunkies in that deep pocket, that BP has.
