First source of nicotine
Youth experiment with vaping and smoking.
If youth experiment with vaping first then they are 20 times less likely to become a smoker compared to if they experiment with cigarettes first.
Vaping is interrupting the next generation of smokers!
Less than 1% of TLV
Unlike 100 years ago when smoking came around, science has analyzed thousands of chemicals.
All of those chemicals have been tested for safety to establish Threshold Limit Values (TLV).
Vapour was compared to TLV and passed with flying colours.
No popcorn lung
Remember all of the headlines saying that vaping causes popcorn lung?
It was a lie.
Do you feel deceived? You should.
You can trust VAEP for accurate information on vaping. Our resources are referenced and easy to understand!
Canada youth smoking vs vaping
In 2018, the term "youth vaping epidemic" was declared by the FDA.
Based on 2017 stats, the number of youth that were smoking was the same as the number that were vaping.
Yet, authority said nothing about a youth smoking epidemic.
Youth are in it for the high
Of the 20,000 high school students surveyed that reported they had ever tried vaping, 1 out of 3 admitted they used cannabis in a vaping device.
Youth are abusing drugs which isn't a reason to oppress harm reduction for smokers by banning flavours.
Youth do stupid things
Commercial industries aren't responsible to the stupid stuff teens do.
Teens abuse alcohol & drugs. Breweries & BigPharma aren't responsible for teen alcohol & drug abuse.
They also abuse vaping. Vape shops aren't responsible for teen vaping abuse.
Who promotes harm reduction?
When authority describes a product, the public believe it's accurate because they trust authority.
When you compare the definition of an e-cigarette from a dictionary vs the CDC, it's very clear that the CDC (authority) has distorted the definition.
Who are vaping?
The data shows us that SMOKERS are vaping and not nonsmokers.
15.5% of current smokers are using vaping to quit.
11.7% of former smokers are using vaping to stay quit.
The 0.4% of vapers that never smoked could have become smokers without vaping.
Vaping normalizes quitting smoking
In a study, it was explained to children that vaping helped smokers quit and the children became supportive of vaping despite the action looked similar to smoking.
Children support the concept of tobacco harm reduction, so, why don't health authorities?
Vaping is an NRT only better
Nicotine replacement therapy is safe, because nicotine has very few side effects.
Smokers are experts at self-dosing nicotine through inhalation.
Vaping allows the smoker to continue to get nicotine through inhaling without the toxins found in smoke.
Vaping is less harmful
Citizens have a right to life which means they have a right to all the information to make informed decisions about preserving health.
They also should have access to and be able to utilize harm reduction to protect health such as condoms and vaping.
Vaping is a small fraction of the risk
Smoking has over 7000 chemicals; 1500 of them we know cause diseases and 69 cause cancer.
Vapour has very few constituents and all of the disease/cancer causing chemicals are virtually eliminated.
This is why vaping is a fraction the risk of smoking.
Vaping increases success by 300%
Everyone knows that quitting smoking is hard but because vaping mimics the behavour, it increases the smoker's chance of quitting smoking.
42% of smokers who vaped & smoked for 2 years, quit smoking.
Only 15% of those who didn't use a vape quit.
Vaping improves chronic disease
Smoking is a risk factor for many chronic diseases because of the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke.
Switching to vaping virtually eliminates these harmful chemicals & chronic diseases improve for many.
Which means they needed less pharmaceuticals.
Vapers want to keep flavours
Young people are being recruited to push the flavour ban.
These young people are not made aware of the importance of flavoured eliquid for adult smokers like their parents.
Vaping may also be preventing their friends from becoming smokers.
Using illneses to ban harm reduction
The 2019 vaping-related lung illnesses were from illegal drugs.
Why would politicians use the illnesses to "hammer all e-cigarette makers" yet e-cigs are nicotine & help smokers quit?
BigPharma profits from smoking diseases and they lobby politicians.
USA youth ever vaped vs smoked
In 2018, based on 2017 stats, the term "youth vaping epidemic" was declared by the FDA.
But in 2017, the number of youth that were smoking was pretty much the same as the number that were vaping.
Yet, they said nothing about a youth smoking epidemic.
US reduced youth smoking uptake
Since vaping has been mainstream, naturally, youth are experimenting with it because they try all adult taboos.
As a result, US youth smoking rates are dropping faster than ever before!
Looks like vaping is interrupting the next generation of smokers.
US youth daily smokers
When youth started experimenting with vaping, their smoking rates dropped dramatically.
To become a smoker, the person has to smoke up to 100 cigarettes to become addicted and a lifelong customer.
Is vaping interrupting that process?
