Again, you are conflating ECigs with tobacco. ECigs are a tobacco replacement and one of the things that greatly contributed to reduction in tobacco use (like Nicorette). According to this, tobacco use hasn't reversed anything, so you are definitely incorrect there:

>It's children that vape. Some adults switched to vaping, but that number is negligible.
Wrong here too.

The percentage of adults who had ever used an e-cigarette (57.3%) and the percentage of adults who were current e-cigarette users (25.2%) was highest among former cigarette smokers who quit within the past year
57.3% of adults who have ever vaped is not negligible. Seems like your conclusions are based on incorrect assumptions.
So based on that, if 25.2% of the adult population are ex-smokers, and a good chunk of those are vaping Juul, you're gonna have between 0 and 25.2% of the population who aren't smoking now to be smoking again by banning Juul. This action, if allowed to stand, will certainly reverse the current tobacco rate trend, potentially to the 1970s adult smoking rate of ~37%.
