I'm sure they are, as any company would be concerned about competition/marketshare, but I don't see them being very successful if you're suggesting they'll try to advertise their product as being a better heath choice than e-cigarettes. Either way, you're still inhaling significant quantities of artificial chemicals, I don't need anyone to plant a seed of doubt about whether that's good for the lungs, or the body in general. It's a matter of how you choose to pollute your body, and how long it will take for a health issues to arise.
Even as a non-smoker, I don't get the hatred toward tobacco companies. They offer a product that's in demand, and so what if they try to make it as appealing as possible. Food companies add artificial chemicals and flavors to very unhealthy foods to get people to buy them. If there's no demand, the "problem" takes care of itself.
