Someone tell me again why we're just supposed to accept the Tobacco label and fight for e-cig specific regulations under Tobacco Control?

It should be regulated as neither. As a mater of fact it shouldn't be regulated atBecause we don't want nicotine regulated as a drug. That would be orders of magnitude worse than what we currently face.
agreed, but it is possible to come up with a third option.Because we don't want nicotine regulated as a drug. That would be orders of magnitude worse than what we currently face.

Unfortunately I think they are planning another move on the supplement industry.Nutritional or herbal supplement?
Except caffeine is not regulated other than it being another consumable productIt should be regulated in exactly the manner in which caffeine and alcohol are.
What I object to THE MOST is having a fascist gov't that think they need -- and have a right! -- to "regulate" EVERYTHING!

like beans or frozen dinners.

What do you mean, "We", friend?We have given them that power over the years unfortunately.
Let me just spell out my thinking a little bit. I know that at this point, it would take a bill making its way through Congress to designate vaping as something other than tobacco. The enormity of the challenge is not the point.
Once vaping is deemed as tobacco, even if there are some vape specific tobacco regulations, it will forever be a defensive fight. We will always be trying to prove why a particular tobacco control regulation should NOT apply to this particular tobacco product. Conversely, if vaping is not a tobacco product, someone would presumably have to justify why a particular regulation SHOULD be applied to vaping.
We have given them that power over the years unfortunately. In my country for example:
We love complaining about corrupt cops yet we don't stop trying to bribe them or stick to the rules.
We blame them for not having a job yet when they offer us to pick up garbage we say it's beneath us.
We complain about the low education levels yet we blame the teacher for our son not doing the homework.
We complain about bad or insufficient public services yet only 46% of us pay our taxes.
When we drink to much we blame alcohol, or the bartender who served us.
When we get a bad reaction we blame the medicine not the fact that we self and over medicated.
And so on.
So we made others responsable and they prefer to regulate us before we blame the B&M for not explaining battery safety, the E-liquid manufacturer for not putting a child protective top when our child drinks our liquid, a vendor for making juice next to a toilet or blaming who ever because we inhaled something we never knew could be harmful but ends up having consequences in 30 years.
