Perhaps, but as long as there is a net drop in usage it's still a win. Who wants to bother buying black market cigarettes in 2020? It's like the worst drug ever - mild-to-no buzz, highly addictive/expensive, gives you cancer

Tobacco isn’t the drug. Nicotine is. There are other ways to consume the drug, and it has a lot of positive effects.
Regardless - it’s a win for you I guess - but does anyone else’s opinion matter?

That's not how that works. At all.
If you get 1 less person to vape, but you get 3 people who were vaping seriously sick / they die from black market goods, that's probably not a net win.
