As the voice of 25 associations worldwide, representing tens of thousands of vapers, we believe that an international voice is important in this debate. Therefore, we \u2013 as an organisation representing consumers \u2013 believe that it is our responsibility and duty towards all the vapers who count on us to protect their rights, to make sure that we set the record straight. Our consultation response was officially submitted on 30 August, and you can read it here.<\/p>\n
