Of course the cigarette companies are investing in the e-cigarette business, like Philip Morris with IQOS. Smoking is a dead end so they are looking for alternatives.
Ultimately, like smoking, using e-cigarettes is smelly and unhealthy. Regulators aren't going to allow for them to be presented as harmless because they aren't and science isn't going to ignore the harmful effects because they do exist. The only reason e-cigarettes are not banned in all the places cigarettes are is because the rules are about burning tobacco and politics makes it difficult to change the rules.
