Hank, just because the tobacco companies have invested in e cigs and are releasing competitive products does not mean they don't hate them and wish them regulated away.

I personally think the tobacco companies are just trying to make money and get in on the market because they are in the business of making money, it has nothing to with them deeply wishing e cigs did not exist.

It is clear to me that tobacco companies are the biggest losers in the long run if e cigs become more and more the alternative to cigarettes.
