Because e-cigs are a threat to traditional big tobacco that doesn't want to compete with a new, safer (please note I am not saying they're safe, only safer than cigarettes) alternative to the poison big tobacco trades on, and big tobacco spends a ton of money on special interest every year keeping their crap legal.

Vaping has been falsely sold as safer than traditional tobacco.
It does get rid of carbon inhalation, but it replaces it with chemical inhalation. If you are boiling chemicals you are not making your lungs free from damage.
The rant of the terminally ignorant.
Known carcinogens:
Tobacco: Over 400
E-liquids: 0
Chemical compounds:
Tobacco: Over 4000
E-liquids: 15-30 depending on recipe.
The contents of e-liquids also enter the body at a far lower temperature than the contents of traditional tobacco. 200-250 degrees vs. the 450+ degrees of tobacco.
No, vaping is not demonstrably safe, but it has been shown demonstrably safer then traditional tobacco.
