It's not just the cigarette companies. It's the tax revenue.

You can buy an supply of nicotine and glycol for a few hundred bucks and make your own vape juice for several years. It's healthier (So you pay less on medical bills), you pay thousands a less in taxes, and it devastates profits for cigarette companies. A lot of vested interests stand to lose a lot of money, so it's no surprise they have rolled out the anti-vaping propaganda on all fronts.
