Opponents of the proposed ban, including Henrico County-based Altria Group Inc., the nation’s largest tobacco company, argued that e-cigarettes produce fewer toxins than traditional cigarettes and that a ban is not justified.

Because they sell e-cigs and expect it to be a huge growth market.
Hooray! I'll vape to that! 
But it was a little disconcerting reading about your "relaxed" smoking ban compared to Nebraska's "nowhere in our state" attitude.

And they are based in our state capitol!
Just goes to show that sometimes you your supposed enemies can be your ally.
Way to go Virginia!

Yes I was shocked because of all of the 'form' letters I've received when emailing our representatives that said ecigs needed more study etc.

Well, some "spoke loudly" all the way to the state supreme court and turns out pretty much everybody in any position of authority put their fingers in their ears while going la-la-la-la-la. Do a search for Big John's Billiards to see how that worked out for him.
I'm not surprised at all that the tobacco companies defend ecigs. They think they can profit in that market. They might try to influence government to stifle vaping products that are a competitive problem for them. If they don't do that I have no problem with them being in the vape market. Ecigs will crush the tobacco market eventually. The tobacco companies know that. It's tax dependent governments who don't know that, or better to say, who don't want to accept that.
I even suggested the quit bashing vaping and provide us with e-liquids on Twitter and their website.
Altria Group Inc (MO): What E-Cigs Will Mean For This Stock | Financial Markets
"Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) has projected that Altria’s revenue from traditional cigarettes will drop in half from $14.8 billion this year to just $7.4 billion in 2023.
That’s why the Richmond, Va.-based company jumped into the e-cig market in 2013 when its Nu Mark subsidiary launched its MarkTen brand of e-cigs. Altria raised its bet on e-cigs last year when Nu Mark acquitted the e-vapor business of Green Smoke Inc. for $110 million."
Congratulations, Virginia!
