I was watching a documentary on Current TV about BT building a big following in Indonesia there are no laws there to control them and they are making big bucks.Sad really.BT will never go out of business. They are hitting new markets in developing countries.

You are forgetting those of us that use cigarettes (and of course now vaping) to self-medicate for things like mild depression. Those are the ones that could NEVER quit using normal means.
Actually I think thats a larger portion of the Nicotine addicts than will ever be revealed.
I have a scientist buddy, physisisist, string theory, all that jive..lol..that claims upwards of 80-90% of nicotine users are unknowingly self medicating for adult ADD.
I liked smoking, never thought I would quit, had tried everything, then hubby brought home a metro e-cig from the tobacco shop while getting another carton of smokes. That was the beginning of December, I tried them with the only idea that it would save money by cutting me down on how many I smoked a day. That's all. I had no intention of quitting at all. Then I learned about juices that tasted better to me than regular cigs and PVs and after 2 months of cutting back and learning all about vaping, I can say I don't even want one anymore! I'm very happy with my roughstack and juices, that the small withdrawl is easily beatable. What a change I feel, mentally and physically and I am surprised I was able to quit in such a short time, when I started out not intending to at all.
Vaping is the future of smoking, and tobacco companies will see that and come up with thier own version and will get people hooked again chemically only a different device.
You are missing the point. For the most part, the list of some 600 additives in cigarettes is mainly composed of flavorants (the majority actually approved food additives), plus things like the glue. These are NOT for the most part the known (and unknown) carcinogens and other toxic components of smoke that cause harm and disease. The carcinogens and toxic chemicals that cause the harm are the products of combustion, that get CREATED when the cigarette is burned. See, Harms of Smoking and Health Benefits of Quitting - National Cancer Institute, and http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/nicotineinhaler/a/cigingredients.htm
For example, benzene, beryllium, vinyl cloride, benzo(a)pyrene, toluene, ethylene oxide, etc, etc, etc, are among the known carcinogenic chemicals in smoke created by combustion (and among the 7,000 or more chemical constituents of smoke). They are not added. They are created by combustion. Reference the cancer.gov cite above.
Another set of carcinogens smoking exposes us to are the tobacco specific nitrosamines, again not added, but naturally present in tobacco and released by it's burning - just as other carcinogenic nitrosamines are formed by cooking/frying/charing food (as in bacon, cured meats, barbequed meats, etc). See, Nitrosamines and Cancer
The quantities of tobacco specific nitrosamines we are exposed to from cigarette smoking are very high, but depending on the method of processing, smokeless tobacco products such as Snus and dissolvables can have vastly reduced levels. And the same goes for nicotine products, such as FDA approved smoking cessation patches, gums and inhalers, and e-cig liquid - since the nicotine comes from tobacco they all still have levels of TSNAs, but levels so tiny as to not amount to any real danger.

The only reason vaping would die out is if a better technology was somehow introduced. Otherwise, the people that really like it can learn how to make their own tech at home pretty inexpensively. Even if it does ever "die" it will probably just hit the same status as homebrewing, something for enthusiasts to do in their spare time.
