It's okay with the government if I smoke cigarettes but they might take away my best last chance to quit?

Question

I've kicked bad habits.. but despite having quit 5 times .. once for 10 months .. I just cannot (right now anyway) successfully quit smoking. I'm an emotional smoker and an emotional person, unfortunate in this context.  I bought an electronic cigarette to try to quit.  
Even if I don't successfully quit right now, I KNOW it's better to smoke an E cigarette regularly than real cigarettes regularly  (many more and KNOWN chemicals in these) .. there's a horrifying and long list!

Now it's being questioned whether the E cigarettes are safe???  How BIZARRE is that if you think about it. Cigarettes are okay but not an e cigarette (I hear their argument against them but I do NOT buy it ..those kids/people/whomever will just buy real cigarettes if they take away the e cigarettes)  I've been smoking longer than most of you have probably been alive if you're wondering .. it does matter in some respects.

Question: 
Wasn't the argument used to ban cigarettes all about protecting the rights of OTHERS to not be exposed to a smoker's bad choice?  That doesn't apply with an E cigarette which produces a nicotine vapor that evaporates quickly .. no you're not breathing it if you're near me.  What gives them the right to take away my right to smoke when it's no longer hurting anyone else???
QUESTION:
Is it the TOBACCO LOBBIES? It must be .. who else would come up with this and has the power to get people to consider this as opposed to banning cigarettes.  I can see stupidity coming a mile away in this case.  I really hope THIS gets shot down before it becomes reality before it is banned everywhere.

the government must set up a new rehabilitation system that better handles all sort of drugs
even smokers like you. your problem is you quite but after a while you fall off your wagon and start smoking again so it still controls you my advice is to get help in some way learn to control your emotions and habits.
i believe smoking should be banned but not now.
what i would do is pass a law stating people under 18 today will never be allowed to smoke but people who are 18 will be allowed.
the younger people wont get the chance to get addicted but the older groups won't have to go cold turkey and start rioting over this. you will get people old enough buying for younger people but once they day out of old age the whole thing will stop for good.

The only move I have seen to ban their use is in the same places you are not allowed to smoke. You can take the e cig elsewhere and smoke all you want.
