"I hope the tobacco industry takes a huge financial hit from the sale of these things because they literally prevent people from dying."

From what I can tell, the tobacco industry is going to eventually own the e-cig market too.

That seems to be a sign that they _are_ taking a significant financial hit, or at least are afraid that they will soon. I'd rather see people using e-cigs sold by big tobacco companies than real cigarettes though.
