Governments only really started to care about vaping when teen smoking started to plummet. Those teens were going to become a valuable revenue stream! Also, governments have a perverse incentive to maintain tobacco sales. There are 10x as many enforcement checks for tobacco taxes being paid as there are for underage tobacco purchases.

There is a significant financial incentive for governments to keep people smoking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Master_Settlement_Agre...
