Ok, fair, but you're missing the blatantly obvious here:

Even if at 20 years you suddenly drop dead of vaper's lung, those first 19.99 years were significantly less unhealthy than smoking cigarettes was.

So, the longer we go without seeing long-term issues, the more extreme those issues would need to be to actually outweigh cigarette danger.
