Millions of vapers could be forced back to smoking
Here is why
Many politicians and anti-vaping voices are calling for vaping to be treated like traditional cigarettes. This would be a disaster for vapers and public health. Millions of vapers could be forced back to smoking due to flavour bans, increased taxes and other restrictions on the accessibility of vaping to the people who need it most.
Our "Back Vaping. Beat Smoking" campaign ensures that the voices of the millions of vapers who have successfully quit smoking through vaping are heard. We want to send a clear message to all politicians in the European Union and around the world: by supporting vaping, we can end smoking and save tens of millions of lives!
#BACKVAPINGBEATSMOKING
Back Vaping now by signing our petition:
NO to flavour bans
NO to lower nicotine levels
NO to treating vaping like smoking
NO to higher taxation
YES to freedom of choice and health
What we need instead: → A clear commitment to harm reduction → Support of current smokers to switch to vaping → Affordability and variety of vaping products for adults

Here you can find our full proposal to politicians on how they can save 19 million lives with consumer-friendly vaping regulation.

Help us save flavours!
Our latest campaign
Vaping can save 200 million lives and flavours play a key role in helping smokers quit. However, policymakers want to limit or ban flavours, putting our effort to end smoking-related deaths in jeopardy.
