The harm they continue to do far exceeds the little bit of good they may have done in the past. And they don't care.

Tobacco Control is a for-profit industry that works closely with both tobacco product manufacturers and government entities to maintain their own revenue stream. In the end, it's just a business.

If karma, or justice, or whatever you want to call it really exists...
Then it would be ever so glorious if vaping eventually brings them crashing down...

I would not mourn for them.

According to the CDC, states aren't spending ENOUGH on tobacco control...
"the states this year will receive $25 billion in revenue from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend only 1.9 percent of it – $481.2 million – on tobacco prevention programs. The CDC’s new guidelines recommend that the states collectively spend $3.3 billion on tobacco prevention programs. It would take just 13 percent of their tobacco revenues for the states to meet this recommendation."
