The ongoing controversy surrounding e-cigarettes and government regulations.
The electronic cigarette industry is in dispute with the government over its harmfulness, causing confusion for consumers.

For years, the e-cigarette industry and the government have been in a contentious debate over their potential dangers. Ultimately, it is the consumers who will suffer from this confusion. Of course, if e-cigarettes are truly harmful, the government must take active administrative measures such as product recall or banning to protect public health. However, it is also necessary to study the exact correlation between diseases caused by e-cigarette use. There should not be anything that only threatens the livelihoods of the industry. If the causal relationship between the harm of e-cigarettes is clearly proven, it is not too late for the government to implement strict regulations.
