If laws force me to vape unflavored propylene glycol, I will buy cigarettes again. Tobacco companies know this.

This isn't just about kids and stop using kids as your fucking moral shield for every limitation you put on adults.

This is entirely about kids. Nobody gives a shit about smokers who switched to vaping - even the US FDA almost endorsed vaping, because of how much better that is!

Why the fuck would you switch back to something that tastes even worse, costs a lot more, and physically hurts?

The only problem with vaping is that it got kids hooked on nicotine. Two generations barely acknowledged cigarettes. But suddenly you can get pack-a-day dosages that taste like birthday cake, and wow hey look at those schoolchildren blow fat clouds. Who could have seen this coming? Tobacco companies, that's who saw it coming, because they did it on purpose. Again. Same as when they flavored cigarettes. Stopping that helped us almost wipe out smoking.
